Brynn has suddenly developed an intense fear of the vacuum cleaner. This morning, she had an absolute meltdown, afraid that it would suck her up, along with Abby, Ivy, and their toys. Who knows where this came from, but it was a very real dilemma that we had to deal with. I can't just not vacuum my house! (Maybe not the best morning to also restart potty training!). I tried reasoning with her, explaining to her, even demonstrating that vacuums are nice and they don't suck up people.
Then, my sweet Abby said, "Do you know what I do when I'm afraid? I pray." Yeah, I felt like a loser for not suggesting the same thing, but I was also so proud of Abby and touched by her pure faith. So, we all knelt down and Brynn said the cutest little prayer about not being afraid that the vacuum will suck us up. And, I was reminded once again that when the Lord counsels us to "pray always", He really means it. It's amazing how the Lord teaches us.
pray always
