Welcome! I'm so glad you dropped by! Make yourself at HOME. If this is your first visit, you may want to SUBSCRIBE to Peapod Squad Stuff so you don't miss any of the fun. Thanks! Y'all come back now, you hear?
I always pray with the peapod squad on the way to school (and no, I do NOT close my eyes while driving). This morning as I uttered the “amen” at the end of the prayer, Split quickly spoke up.
Split: Oh no! You forgot something, Mommy!”
Me: What?
Split: The Library!
Me: What about the Library? Why did I need to pray about the Library? I know your class goes today. We asked God to protect you today, I’m sure He knows that includes your trip to the Library.
Split (growling, yes literally growling): Ugh. I’ll just tell Him myself. Dear God, please remember me to be quiet at the Library because it’s so important for me to be quiet there. Amen.
Me: Are we finished now?
Split: Yes, but that was SO close! My friends would be really mad if God let me talk too much at the Library and then we couldn’t go back there ever ever ever again and they might not learn how to read!
OK, really? The entire literary future of twenty 4-year-olds hinges on my memory at 8am?
That is way too much responsibility.

Thanks. I needed that today. Love you. Dad
That is so precious! I love those moments.
One day we were heading for school and my 4 year old ask me if Jesus drives a truck. I told her that Jesus has no need for a truck because He can just fly or appear anywhere at anytime. That vehicles are just a way for us in the physical body to get to far places. Well she just blocked me out as soon as I said FLY. During our prayer she sat quite, which she usually mumbles right along with my prayer. I said In Jesus name we pray and she yelled WAIT! Please tell Jesus I want to come live with Him and fly too. I was kinda shocked because her 15 yr old sister passed away a few years ago, and I thought please Lord don’t make me say that prayer for her, but she wouldn’t relent. So I said, Father God, please capture (little one’s heart) so that one day she will be living a life for you, Jesus. Then when it is time to call her home, Lord, let her FLY straight into your arms for all eternity. AMEN! She was pleased with that and so was I. Boy those prayer request get pretty intense sometimes.
Thanks for sharing.
