We never quite know what our little Emmett will
say!!
What we do know…is that he never ceases to amaze us
and delight us with his comments!
We recently celebrated all of the March birthdays
in our family!
As we gathered around the table for lunch, Emmett
volunteered to pray!
We bowed our heads…closed our eyes…as we waited for
Emmett to pray for our food!
However, this is the prayer that Emmett prayed that
day:
Dear God…help children to obey their
parents…Amen!
I’m pretty sure each of us was smiling on the
inside as we heard Emmett’s little prayer for our meal!
And as we lifted our heads and looked at Emmett’s
parents…his daddy responded….”We are
memorizing that verse and working on that in our home”!!
We all laughed at his response!
Later that day, we gathered around the table for
birthday cake!
They boys had been riding their bikes and playing
outside and were quite thirsty!
Hudson and Graham were drinking their lemonade and
making each other laugh as they looked through their clear glasses at each
other!
As Emmett was watching his older brother and cousin
laughing into their glasses…he immediately folded his arms across his chest…looked
at them across the table…and with much authority said…
“You shouldn’t be laughing and doing
that! I’m not laughing and
neither are your parents! It’s not funny”!
I wish I had a picture of this little three-year
old scolding his older brother and cousin…it was hilarious!
And please know…Emmett is often the first to join
in with such type of behavior, but on this particular day…he was not joining in
the nonsense and felt it was his right to take charge of the situation and make
sure this inappropriate behavior stopped immediately!
We all looked at Emmett’s parents again…and his
daddy just shook his head!!
Though Emmett often makes us smile and laugh, he
recently shared something a little more profound!
This past winter, Emmett failed his hearing test at
school, which surprised all of us!
Shortly after this news, I noticed that Emmett
seemed to be talking a little more loudly, and I wasn’t sure if he was actually
talking louder or if I was just noticing it more!
Unfortunately, Emmett missed the next hearing test
at school because he was ill, so his parents were advised to schedule an
appointment with an audiologist for further testing!
Emmett’s mama asked the family to pray…asking that
we pray for peace, direction and clear results on the test!
So we joined this sweet mama in prayer…trusting and
believing God to touch little Emmett and give his parents clear direction!
We were all so thankful when Rachel shared that
Emmett had passed his hearing test and praised God for this good news!
The following week Rachel shared this sweet story!
Without prompting from Rachel, Emmett told his
mama…“Mom, I couldn’t hear you last
week”!
His mama replied back…”But you can hear me now”?
Emmett responded…”Yep”!
Rachel asked…”What
happened? Was God working?
Emmett replied…”Yes,
he healed me, mom”!
The faith of a child never ceases to amaze me!
This precious child knew God could heal him and
shares with his mama that God did indeed heal him!
Isaiah 53:5 states…”But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our
iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds
we ae healed”!
I not only praise God that Emmett is hearing his
sweet mama’s voice more clearly, but I praise His Holy, Holy name that Emmett
is giving God all the glory for touching and healing his ear!
I praise God that Emmett is learning to trust HIM
for all things at this tender age!
As I previously shared, this sweet little boy never
ceases to amaze us and delight us with his comments!
And often…his sweet words bring tears to this
Gammy’s heart…as he shares what God is doing in his young life!
Dear
Heavenly Father…thank you for little children!
Thank you for revealing yourself to them at a young age…and may these
precious little children grow up…following you all the days of their lives!
