Prayer Walk

Sunday was Lehr's birthday and it was also the day we did a Prayer Walk as a church. I was running around snapping photos most of the time, so Lehr was on kid-duty. The morning started out ROUGH, so I urged Lehr to choose the shortest walk (there were three choices), for the sake of his sanity. He stuck it out for the longest one though, and the kids did much better than I expected. Eli and Maddie rode in the double BOB most of the time, getting out to walk a few times when the road wasn't too close. I don't know how much praying they did on their own, but they noticed a lot and many questions followed that night.

After the walk, we all ate lunch and enjoyed a praise band. Maddux and her buddy Owen were goofy, as always, kissing and cracking up. Let me clarify that: MADDUX was kissing Owen, he was just the innocent bystander. Eli had a great time hanging out with his friends from Community Group as well. And when the music started, both kids had a blast watching and singing along. A new girl in our group has taken a particular interest in Maddux. Caroline, who is 7, hurried over to Maddux as soon as lunch started, engaging her in conversation and spending most of her lunch entertaining her. Maddux is one loved little girl!
