Yesterday I was in the car with my 7-year-old son Leo, and I was telling him about the global food crisis and how Compassion International was having a day of prayer for the poor people of the world. He said, "Let's pray right now!" Then added, "You don't have to close your eyes." He prayed and then I prayed. I was impressed by his sense of urgency to pray and his complete lack of hesitation. It reminded me of a couple of months ago when we were visiting my college roommate Christi and her family. Christi, Lainie and I were praying and Leo and Jaden, Christi's 6-year-old daughter, were playing nearby. As we prayed the kids gathered around us. Christi prayed something like this, "And God, thanks so much for sneaking Leo in just in time..." Leo immediately turned to Jaden and whispered, "God snuck me in just in time!" May God bring help to those who need Him so desperately, and just in time.
