A Little Girl's Prayers Answered


Riley and Kate--December 2007

For many months now (maybe even a year or close to it), during her bedtime routine, Riley has been praying for Kate to walk and for Anna-Claire to grow some hair. LOL! Yes, she came up with his on her own when she was only 4 years old.

Her Dado, Steven, asked me recently if Kate was mostly just walking now--which she is. That girl wants to walk everywhere! When I told him this, he said that Riley could probably change her prayers now--at least her request for Kate to walk. She can now change it to a prayer of thanksgiving. Anna-Claire has a lot more hair than she used to, but I'm sure her Mom would like for her to have some more. :o) She's a cutie either way, though!

Thank you, God, for answered prayer. He hears all of our prayers!

  1. So sweet. I strongly believe in the power of prayers. They said that prayer is the strength of man and the weakness of God

  3. That is so sweet! What a precious post! I remember being so touched (and tickled) when Robin and Steven told us that Riley was praying for Kate to walk and Anna-Claire to grow hair. :) Yes, I think Kate's might have "taken off" a bit quicker than Anna-Claire's, but these prayers are being answered. You know, the Bible tells us to be specific when we pray, maybe I should ask Riley to pray that I can put a bow in her hair one day? :) lol!
    bly!
