She Asks Me to Pray for Baby

Praying that the Lord bless us with another baby has become common place for Chad and I. It's something we ask him to bless us with every time we come together in prayer. Haven asked me to pray with her last night before bed and I did as usual. It's a beautiful thing to pray over your children and even more beautiful when they ASK you to pray for them. After I was done praying she said, "pray for baby, mommy." I almost came to tears as I got a glimse of the power of prayer and the influence it can have on our children. She showed me for the first time that she understood prayer and how to ask for the desires of your heart. She understood to "pray for baby." She asks me if baby is inside my tummy and I tell her no. I tell her that her baby brother or sister will be coming to us in a very special way; that our baby might be a little older because God is getting our baby ready to have her as a big sister. She is ready to be a big sister and we continue to pray that the Lord provides the finances to bring her little brother or sister home.
