Faith Like Sophia

Dawson took a fall Wednesday night and boogered up his knee. Luckily, nothing is broken or dislocated. It just looks like someone shoved a grapefruit under his skin. He is hobbling around here as the doctor said he thought Dawson might do more damage with crutches so just have him stay off of it until Monday. He has a bit of pain and quite a bit of discomfort.
Last night as we were getting ready say our bedtime prayers, we discussed all the regulars - thankful for the good day together, pray for no bad dreams, etc. Then Sophia said we need to pray that God heals Dawson's knee. I said that is right we do. She said because you know it only takes a small touch from God to heal you. I asked her what she meant. She said well you know that one lady only had to touch his robe to be healed and that other guy didn't even touch Jesus he was just told to get up and go. You are right sister, God can heal like that.
Sometimes it takes our children to remind us to have that faith and that the amazing power of God is available to each of us every day. I am blessed to have children that have that faith. I am blessed to have a church with volunteers that teach the truth of the Bible to my children. I am blessed to have family and friends that demonstrate Christ's love to my children that they know without a doubt He is real in their lives!
