Sweet Dreams

Tonight after the kids were tucked in bed David called to me.  He said, "Can you come lay by me?  I'm scared."  As I made my way to his bed I could hear Warren talking to him. 

He said, "David, If you're scared then you should say a prayer.  Last night I was scared because I was thinking of the giant in the Jack and the Beanstalk movie.  I prayed and prayed that I wouldn't have a nightmare about it and I had a really really good dream."

I asked him what his good dream was about and he said, "Like kindness and stuff."

And just like that, a 7 year-old's faith was strengthened and shared with his 4 year old brother.  We sang songs together and after they were settled I left to say my own little prayer of thanks.
