A mother's prayer

I was remembering a talk that I had with Dottie just a few months ago. We were talking about her mother, Deanne, and how wonderful it is to hear her pray over us. No one can pray like Sis Deanne. Her prayers are always filled with God. Dottie was talking about when Josh was little, he would maneuver his way under Sis Deanne when she was praying just so he could hear her and feel the presence of the Lord. I thought how great that must feel. I wanted my child to feel like that toward me. I have been noticing lately that when we stand in church to pray, Kalyn stands and wraps her arms around me, just to be closer. I wonder if she is feeling that way toward me, just to hear me pray over her. How awesome are the heartfelt prayers of a mother!
