Mommy Moment # .... well I've lost count, but here it is...
We were rushing to get ready this morning. So ready to get our day started when I started having pain in my shoulder. It happens from time to time, usually last a day maybe two and then it goes away. It doesn't normally leave right away. I am a Mom of 3 and some days I probably push the limits of what I should really be doing, so it comes with the territory. Well, it happened this morning and I really wanted to be a help today. It was part of the 'plans' for the day and when it started I said out loud, 'Oh NO! You can't do this today. I have to help....' Thomas asked what was wrong. I told him that I was hurting and I needed it to go away. Thomas and Zach's reply was, 'Mommy, God will take it away.' So, I looked at him and said 'You're exactly right! Pray for Mommy.' They laid their little hands on my shoulder and prayed the prettiest little prayer I've ever heard. While they were laying hands on me, my 19 month old comes over and lays his little hand on my other arm and looks down at the floor because (of course) he wants to do EVERYTHING those big brothers do. They finished praying and I reached up to get Zach's shirt out of the dresser and wouldn't you know it, my pain was GONE! I said, 'You know what!?! It feels better already.' Thomas in that little voice that just has it all together says, 'That's because I asked God to take it away fast, Mommy.'
You've just got to love the faith of a child. My boys are always telling each other that God will take their boo boos away. And to them it's just that simple. They ask and God is going to take care of it because that's just what He does. He takes care of us. It doesn't matter how he does it, they just know He's going to do it. I've watched Thomas when he gets a scrape or cut. We will clean it up and then every so often I'll catch him checking that thing out. Then he will say something like, 'Look Mommy it's looking better already. Jesus is taking it away.' I want more of that child like faith because that child like faith is the kind that moves mountains!
