I was in Target the other day with Sophia wandering through the food section when we happened upon another mama with her infant. Sophia, who is very aware of babies and likes to gush over how cute they are, stopped to talk to the baby, and then we went on our way. A moment or two later, she looked very thoughtfully at me and said, "I wish mama had a new baby,too."
"Well, don't wish for it; pray and ask Jesus, if that is what you'd like."
"Ok. I'm gonna do that."
And with that statement, my little girl got down on her knees in the back of the cart in the frozen food aisle in the middle of Target. She raised both hands as high as she could stretch and called out: "Oh God, thank you for this day, God. I hope you like this day. Please, God, let mama have a baby. In JESUS name, Amen."
She paused for about 10 seconds before she turned around, looked me straight in the eye, and said, "Jesus said yes, mama."
Matthew 19:14
But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Matthew 18:2-3
And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven
