Yesterday, Lizzie and her classmates at Kinder-2 had their photos taken...after that I, together with Dinah, Lizzie and Mary Nicole, proceeded to have breakfast at McDonald's...
When we got there, one of Lizzie's classmates, together with his dad was already there, after a few minutes two more of Lizzie's classmates, with their respective moms arrived at McDonald's also.
With their moms still ordering their food, the kids were left with
us.....people were starting to look in the direction of our table and
were smiling because these were small kids talking animatedly about
anything under the sun and laughing and having a great time.....
Before their moms got back and before we had to leave....I spoke to Lizzie's classmates...and this is what I told them....
"Do you pray at night?"....
and they said...."We pray at school."....
and I told them..."You have to pray at night also, at home or anywhere you are. Never forget to pray. Ask anything from Jesus, He is your friend."....
They listened intently for a while, they smiled at me, and then they continued with what they were doing....
The other night, on my way to work,...as usual I had texted Nicole, Niccolo, Lizzie and Dinah....expressing my love for them and blessing them and reminding them to pray......
With my wife...I also text her my thanks for keeping up with us.....
That particular night, I also texted this to Lizzie....
"Dad has a tummy ache, but has to work. Daddy loves his little girl so much. Pray! God bless!"...
All of them would text me back....Lizzie texted this...
"I love you soooo much daddy and good night and God bless!" ....but unbeknownst to me....
the minute Lizzie received my text about my having a tummy ache...she immediately went in front of a mini altar in our room and kneeled down to pray that her daddy gets better....
I was so....it's quite hard to put what I felt into words...I just felt fortunate and so blessed.
A lot of Lizzie's classmates talk to me, they think of me as their friend...so while I could've just laughed and played with them....I thought it was the perfect opportunity to talk to them about the need and the beauty of praying.....
and I think, that although they went back to talking and laughing.....
On sleepless nights or even on ordinary nights, they may remember....
that Uncle Jonathan or Tito Doc had told them .."To Pray!"
God bless everyone and keep on praying!
