Derek said the sweetest thing today that I wanted to record it. Let me give you a little background. Yesterday Derek was coughing all day long. We were gone all day. We went to the church to scrapbook, then off to Kamryn's soccer game, then home for a minute before we headed back to the church for pack meeting. We didn't get home until 8:00 and we hadn't eaten dinner yet. Derek said his belly hurt and went to bed without any dinner. I think he didn't feel very good (or maybe it was the the donut that he ate at pack meeting on an empty stomach). I felt bad for dragging him around all day if he didn't feel good. Anyway this morning he was all excited and said, "Mom, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. Do you know why? Last night before I went to bed I prayed that my stomach would stop hurting, and when I woke up it didn't hurt anymore." How sweet is that. I love this kid. He was seriously so excited. What a great thing when your kids can discover for themselves the power of prayer. And how wonderful to see the Faith of a child.

That is precious. Derek is such a good kid. It is great that at such a young age he is learning the power of prayer. He must have some great parents! As they would say here in the South, We love all ya'all.
