Dear Kids,
We were staying with Dani for a couple of weeks. One day Joshua was just wanting to play card game after card game after card game. He was so excited about learning games and especially winning the games.
At one point I heard Dani shout out, "That's right buddy!! You remember that and you pretty much have life figured out!".
It was adorable, and I thought to myself, that it's true! There's not much more to life than that... learning how to win and learning how to pray are made to be together. When we pray, we win. When we win, we pray. The trick is to remember to keep praying, even when we are in a "winning" part of life. Life is filled with winning times and losing times. It is just the ebbs and flows of life. Learning how to pray during all of it gets us through, and learning how to have the tenacity to keep a winning attitude and mind when we are losing, then we also are able to make it through.
It is always amazing to me how much children answer lots of questions, they have a natural wisdom about them. Remembering to keep children's wisdom in our hearts is another big key to life as well.
Remember kids, your WHOLE LIFE you are going to be learning how to win, and you are going to be learning how to pray. Prayer keeps improving and there are lots of times of prayer plateau's as well, when you just have to keep moving through the times when you don't know if God is hearing you. But keep on going and you will keep winning through all the lessons you will receive.
I love you kids. So much.
Your Mom
