Mabel Molanphy

Mabel got to give her very first prayer in Sun­beams today. Mama and Dad­dy went, in case she need­ed help. She did­n’t. As soon as the song was over, she marched right up, climbed up the podi­um, bowed her head and said, “Dear Heav­en­ly Father. This is a Sun­beams class and thank thee for all these Sun­beams. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.” Then she marched back to her seat and sat down. Mama was so proud! Oh, and right before she gave the prayer (on behalf of the entire pri­ma­ry), she tells her teacher, “I did a prayer in Span­ish” (which she did last night, before bed.) We had an audio clip, but David is still work­ing on upload­ing it.

Before nap, she said her prayer for Aunt Mindy, “Dear Heav­en­ly Father. Aunt Mindy has an owie on her neck. She is *real­ly* sad. Could you please help her with that? In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.” fol­lowed by, “Now Aunt Mindy will be hap­py!” Aunt Mindy has a bulging disc in her neck; we had a fam­i­ly fast and prayer for her.

I love her prayers. I love her con­fi­dence. I love her sweet faith and tes­ti­mo­ny of her Father in Heav­en and Jesus.
