Together in Seattle...2009
I've spent many a blog praying for my dear children to love (or even like) each other. And yesterday I had a clue that God is at work.
Lyssa, who is still out of town (and has been for 3 1/2 weeks), sent a text to her brother that went like this...
"I miss my brudder."
I'm not sure how Kyle felt about the text, but this mother was rejoicing!
Lord, you have blessed us with two beautiful children, and we give you thanks. Thank you for little glimpses of the ways you are answering my prayers about their relationship with one another. They each bring such joy to our lives. At times, however, they bring out the worst in each other. One moment they are each others best friend, and then the next they are arguing like enemies. Lord, help them learn to show love, kindness and compassion with one another in all circumstances, reflecting you in their actions, and may forgiveness flow easily when hurts happen. Bring moments of great laughter and times of lasting joy together. May they defend one another to their friends, build one another up when they are down, and speak words that bring life into their relationship. Keep the enemy from allowing anger to reside in their hearts, and tearing their relationship apart. Lord, I pray that your Spirit prompts them to love one another, and love one another deeply.
