We're passing on the torch...

or the ear muffs at least!


Brenly has a friend in her Sunday School Class (well not anymore...Abby got promoted, while Brenly got held back...is it bad that my child failed Sunday school?...that's another post) Anyway Abby is getting her tonsils taken out next Monday and if you have read any of my post of the trauma that our tonsil experience caused...you understand that we are willing to help anybody through that nightmare! I have been talking to Brenly about Abby getting her tonsils out...to which Brenly quickly replied..."Mine are gone, Mommy, I'm not ever gettin that done again!" (AMEN SISTER!) I was telling her that we need to be praying for Abby so that hopefully she won't have to go through so much pain to get better...So we have been praying for her and Saturday night I told Brenly that if she saw Abby at church, that she needed to tell her that we have been praying for her and her tonsils...She thought for a moment and she looked at me and said, "Mommmy, where are my "muffs", I need to give them to Abby and maybe that will make her feel better" Is that not the sweetest thing! So I told her where her "muffs" were and she had them ready to take to church with us. We got there and we didn't see Abby, because again, she was promoted...but we did see Jill and Brenly handed them over! Very glad in the fact that we won't be needed those again...but prayerful that Abby will do great and won't have the need for them! Jill wrote me a note and said that Abby was very thankful for the "earmuscles" (How stinkin precious is that?...Funny how kids can have SO many names for the very same thing!) and she told her daddy that Brenly was even going to pray for her! Isn't it amazing that even at 4 years old, kids can be excited that others care for them enough to talk to Jesus on their behalf! That even being so young, they get the power of prayer, and how Jesus hears our prayers! Absolutely amazing! Abby, we promise to pray all week that next Monday will go very smoothly and that Jesus will take great care of you and that you will be feeling better in no time! And that if needed... that those "earmuscles" come in real handy!

Truly is amazing that they do understand that young what it means! So precious! I do pray that it goes much easier for her.

The sweetness comes from you, the failing SS? comes from her BFF Maci's influence!

That is so sweet!! I love the pic of her on the couch with the muffs on. Continuing praying for Abby, and hopefully I won't be calling you next week for advice!
