A Mama Moment……
               with Kenton and Johnson    
                                    May 31, 2013
I remember Dr. David Hager asking me if I wanted to pray before I go too far into the delivery of my unborn sons.  He said, “I’ve learned not to wait because if we wait until we get into hard labor, then at times, things go so fast that we don’t have time to cover them in prayer.  Would you like to cover them in prayer now?”

Those were precious words to me……..and, I have never forgotten them.
And so, just he and I bowed our head in prayer over the hearts, the souls, the lives of my twin sons.  He did this again later with both their Dad and I prior to their birth.
I am grateful that my sons had a physician who knew the importance of prayer.
I am grateful for Dr. Aiken who assisted in us becoming parents to the boys and who, likewise, understood the importance of prayer.
And so, as my sons enter into their season of  “man-hood” by becoming eighteen, I enter a new, more purposeful season of prayer.
Our children cannot survive in this world without the covering of prayer…..
My children are no exception.  Maybe, in fact, they need prayers even more than some…..
So, today, our family begins…..
To pray….
Not just for Madison, Kenton and Johnson….but, for all of our young people….for your children…for your grandchildren….
Prayer is the purest avenue we have to cover them and the most important thing we can do to fortify them...
Join us?
Blessings,
Lesa
