(This is the very last picture taken by our camera…reading Winnie the Pooh’s ABCs while eating a PB and J sandwich. Couldn’t get any better than that.)
Noah’s fever broke! All on it’s own…no visit to the doctor, and no antibiotics. Sweet victory. Late Wednesday afternoon, Noah fell asleep in the middle of our playroom floor. We were all just sitting around…I was folding laundry, while silently praying that God would heal Noah, and Elijah and Zeke were both working on some homework. For some reason, I really felt like I should involve Elijah and Zeke in my prayer, so I said, “You guys, could you please lay hands on Noah, and ask God to heal him?” They did as I asked, although very sheepishly at first.
They prayed, and I quote, “God, please heal Noah, and kick the infections butt!” Amen!
Well, Noah had a terrific sleep on Wednesday night, and woke up cool as a cucumber on Thursday morning. Hooray! Was he getting better anyway, before Elijah and Zeke prayed for him? Maybe…I don’t know though. I do know that it was a huge faith-builder for Elijah and Zeke…and me.
P.S. I get to go out tonight …with “the gals!” A very much needed break…it’s been a looong week.

I know that I sound like a broken record but… Janet you are such a good and godly mum. Thanks for training your children so well! And thanks for taking such good care of my child.

hey Jan, thanks for this story, made my eyes swell with tears! I feel quite certain that the prayers of Elijah and Zeke made all the difference. What is it that some people say about prayer and faith…that prayer is as much for us as it is for intercession…it changes us as much as it changes the situation some times… as I am sure it has in the sweet innocent hearts of your boys. your all beautiful and I am so thankful that Noah is felling better on his own. have a great nite out! you deserve it!
love you lots

That’s very cool, Janet. I sometimes hesitate to get my kids to pray for things that can be measured so definitely, my own doubt getting in the way of a potential faith-building experience. This is a great encouragement for me.
Have fun tonight!
