Carson's Faith

Today we have had a huge snowstorm hit us. Jeff called me when he got off of work and I told him that the roads were horrible and to be careful. After I got off the phone with him I told Carson that we needed to say a prayer to make sure Daddy got home safe. When my prayer was over Carson said, "Now I'm going to say a prayer, Mommy." So he knelt down by his bed and said this:

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for this day, Jesus Christ, bless us to be good. Please bless Daddy to come home safe and angels help him.

Then he closed the prayer and turned to me and said, "Mommy, I know Daddy is going to be safe because I prayed for him." The faith of a child! It was so sweet.

2 hours 40 minutes later Jeff made it home safe. He managed to avoid the over 80 car accidents that were reported out on I-15. Thank you Carson for your prayer and your faith!

That is absolutely precious. You are obviously good parents, to teach him ALL of that! and for him to follow through at such a young age. Wow. Keep it up!!! Glad your hubby made it home safe! (You should submit that to the Children's Friend...)

Wow - that's nuts that it took him that long to get home from work. I went to Walmart today and took the backroads because I knew I-15 would be a mess. Traffic was terrible today.
Glad Carson's prayer helped get Jeff home safely!
