he is loved

lincoln's prayers are just about the most precious thing. right after those songs he sings.
oh my heart.

his prayers have evolved.

lots of them are about what we did that day, what he ate that day (!), who we saw that day, and "thank you Jesus died on the cross"

but. my favorite part is this...

awhile ago he added, "God loves me" (THIS is my prayer - that he would know that above ALL else!) and i tell it to him all the time. possibly even more than i tell him that i love him. because i KNOW God's love will NEVER fail him. my love fails him daily.

a few weeks ago, he added, "sawyer loves me." oh! so sweet!

a few days later, "sawyer loves me. mommy and daddy love me." yes, we DO!

and now, he goes through EVERY person in our family. one at a time.

he is loved. and he knows it. well, he at least says it. i PRAY it's getting into that heart of his.
