Every night JMonster and I pray together before bed. We snuggle, pray, and I sing a few songs. As I prayed over him tonight I was reminded just how close our little ones are to God.
"Father, I pray that JMonster will grow up to be a man who follows you. I pray he will marry a girl who follows you, and that she is being raised in a family who loves you and will lead her..."
"Momma...who is she? What's her name?"
"Whose name? The girl you will marry? I don't know! Only God knows."
"Oh."
small pause..."Alyssa." another small pause...
"Momma, who is Alyssa?"
"Alyssa? I don't know an Alyssa. Who told you the name Alyssa?"
"My heart."
Do YOU know my future daughter-in-law Alyssa? I sure don't. But she's been laid on his little heart. :o)

Oh my, how sweet is that!?
I too pray for my future DILs - no Alyssa's here, but I'll keep an eye out for her.
How sweet! I need to start praying for my future DIL, too - what a great idea!
