Day-29

¹⁶In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Teaching faith?  I understand at two years old understanding faith will be a difficult task.  At two Wyatt is starting to develop himself, we are teaching him manors, right-from-wrong, love, all the things that are so important to a little one.  But teaching faith?  That is a hard one for me to wrap my head around at this young age.  Don't get me wrong we do all we can to model a Christ-like attitude daily to our boys, and we pray at dinner and before bed, we sing worship songs and dance, but actually teaching faith right now is hard.  Probably because it is a personal decision not a black and white.  Jacob and I pray nightly with Wyatt, we talk to him about his day and ask him who we should pray for??  He usually says mama and daddy but sometimes out of the blue he says someone else.  Like two weeks ago he randomly said grandpa Rico, ya-ya n' grandpa eddie and this entire last week he has said Brian and Marla (auntie M).  I am floored by his mind.  Jacob and I continually pray for his sister, she is near to our hearts and I am not sure how (I like to think by some divine gifting) this sweet little two year old boy is asking us to pray for someone we love, someone who we believe needs prayer and a relationship with God.  And it isn't even like he see's them on a regular basis.  That little boy never ceases to amaze me.  I can't wait to see the life and blessing God has in store for him.
