date night phone call

We had a date night last night. The sitter called me. That always makes me nervous, now that the last time we had a sitter and she called to say we needed to come home because Cash was bleeding. Anyway, the sitter said that Cash wanted to tell me something, and when she handed him the phone he said, " Mom, may the Lord bless you and keep you, may He make his face shine upon you, and give you peace forever and ever, Amen!".  Made my night! And I was glad to know he was safe with the Lord in his heart!

Still praying....

Ok several weeks have passed and we are still praying for the mean girl but we have since added a mean boy. Last week at church I guess a little boy in the child care was not so nice to Cash and he would not apologize. So when I picked Cash up, when he saw me he immediately started to cry because his feelings were so hurt. I think it was more the fact the little boy wouldn't apologize for hitting him. So I asked the boy to apologize and he looked right at me and said "no". Since then when we say prayers at night or on the way to school Cash chimes in say prayers for the mean boy and the mean girl. And say the prayers first mommy.  So we are still praying for these two little ones who have hurt my sons feelings, I hope he lets go soon. I keep asking him- do we need to keep praying for them and he said yes.

Saying prayers....

Today we were at McDonalds and Cash was running around playing in the play area. There was this mean little girl. You could kind of tell she must be the way she is because she has an older brother who beats on her. Anyway- she was hitting at Cash, and agitating him. If he was coming down the slide, she would get at the bottom and not let him pass by her. Just pestering him, getting in his way. I caught them both swinging at each other and he would say- she is hitting me. And I told him, walk away or tell her to stop but she would still go after him. I even gave her the evil eye once when she was starting to follow him and she glared back at me with this smirk like she knew what she was doing. Anyway, finally I told him we were leaving. We left, and in the car ride home I told him, some people are mean in the world and that you just need to walk away. That or tell them three times to stop and if they don't then you can give them a taste of their medicine.
So tonight, we said prayers. And he wanted to get down and kneel to say his prayers. I asked him who he wanted to pray for. And he told me himself, Tyler, Joshua, Daddy, mommy and the mean girl. But after we kneeled down he told me to pray for the mean girl first. And so we did.
