the treasure chest...

Today at a local grocery store and market I did something that is a first for me. As we were on our way out I noticed a little box on a counter with a note that said, "We would like to pray for you" The little box was a small treasure chest with a slot on top to put your prayers in.

Normally, I would have kept walking but something made me stop and then something else made me write my prayer request down and slip it into the treasure chest..

My prayer request isn't anything amazing or life changing..Well not to anyone but me.
I wrote on that small piece of white paper that I lost my sweet baby girl; a twin; in 2002 and that her twin brother is now 9. That we are once again seeking the Father in prayer for twins..for another pregnancy and babies...
I have prayed, since she died for twins but not with my whole heart and certainly not with any real hope in my heart that Father would answer my prayer again. The first time was too good to be true; a fluke..
But this time I am praying this prayer with my whole heart. That I will indeed be blessed with twins. I know that in Father's word His promises to me are for good things and good gifts.

So as I slipped my prayer into the box today I kept thinking of the scripture that says where one or more are gathered; there I am and that the prayers of a righteous man avail much...

 "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much" (James 5:16)


So adding more prayers to my own and that of my family is always a good thing...Father hears us...

++++ Father God, I ask that you once again bless my womb with a set of beautiful, wonderful twins that I get to watch grow and to raise up to serve You! I pray for healthy twins & a healthy pregnancy for Your glory not my own! Oh and Lord, you know I will accept one baby from your hand too....:) 
Thank You Father! Amen!!
