God speaks

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

Proverbs 22:6 

This morning, in the car to school,

we tried something different.

I am trying to encourage my children to listen and recognise Gods voice to them.

We always pray on our way to school and today

I asked the girls to close their eyes,

ask God to speak to them,

give them some words 

or a picture.

They each had a moment to ask and think..

Then I said,

"What did you see or hear?"

Ellie, my middle daughter had a picture of our neighbours,

they go to the same school as us and have just moved around the corner.

She saw our family and theirs.

Jessie, my eldest saw a bunch of flowers.

Later that day,

this new neighbour turned up at our door,

with a bunch of flowers for me as we had helped them out.

It wasnt until I was unwrapping them to put in a vase that jessie exclaimed,

"Mummy!! Flowers!...from the people Ellie saw in her picture!"

God is good.

Love Him and how he can speak even to the little children.
