Well-Loved and Discipled

Mama Connie recently came to visit us! We love it when she comes - our family is well-loved by her. The girls got lots of hugs and kisses. They smiled, told her happy stories, and showed her how they can stand and sit up like big girls. James and I even got a date day in Austin to shop and eat dinner. It is always refreshing to have her here.
Mama Connie is a prayer warrior! She has found it is her joy to pray. She has such a sweet and sensitive spirit - always going to our God in prayer on behalf of others. She continually bathes our family in prayer. The prayer of a righteous woman is powerful and effective. (James 5:16) Our family has seen the fruit of Mama Connie's prayers.

Thank you, Mom, for living a life in Christ and for teaching me how to pray for my family.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. (Matthew 28:19-20)

Mama Connie's influence is reaching a new generation now. Just two days after she left, James grabbed my attention toward the girls - "Look here. Our girls are praying." Sure enough, both girls were praying at the same exact moment. Kristen, who was lying on the floor, had her hands folded together in prayer. and Adelyn, who was lying in James' lap, had her hands folded together as well.

And all your [spiritual] children shall be disciples [taught by the Lord and obedient to His will], and great shall be the peace and undisturbed composure of your children.

Isaiah 54:13.

Amen.
