Day 261 - proud mama

most days i can say i am a proud mama.  my kids continually amaze me in how they interact, what they say and do, how creative they are....the list could go on and on. 

wednesdays are game day - today was caleb's first home football game and it's homecoming week.  the boys have one more win under their belt and caleb did great out on the field.  but my "proud" hat didn't appear until later in the evening...

after lilly and dave were home from soccer practice, luke was back from youth group and caleb and i had returned from his game we sat around the coffee table in the family room talking about our day.  caleb, very nonchalantly says, "i prayed for the team before the game".  dave and i both look at each other and then back to him for further details.  he then proceeds to share with us that him and a few other guys had decided to pray together prior to the game - once the other players saw what this small group of guys was doing they asked caleb if he would pray for the team.  caleb didn't hesitate and had everyone gather around as he prayed for their safety, good sportsmanship, and fun!

i shouldn't have been surprised this is the kind of kid he is - but i was.  i pray he will continue to stand for Jesus and continue to be bold in his faith on the field, at school, at home - wherever he may find himself.
