Keeper of Prayers

I tucked my almost–as in three days away from–two-year old “Tyler” into bed tonight and sang a few songs, then prayed. After I said, “Amen,” he prayed too. Went a little something like this:

“I-nah, i-nah, i-nah i-nah i-nah i-nah. I-nah Mom. I-nah i-nah i-nah i-nah mine.” And so on, with a very powerful “i-nah” at the end.

I watched him, gorgeous blond hair against the pillow, hands together on his chest, eyes screwed shut in utter concentration … and I smiled at the thought of that prayer going straight up to the throne of God and being saved in a golden bowl.

If you hear that one in heaven someday, remember it came from my sweetie! 🙂
