Riley and Lammie
Every Wednesday night the youth meet for what we call 'Kneemail': basically, a time for us to share prayer requests and send people cards. Scott and his 3 year old daughter,Riley, join us every Wednesday. Riley loves Jesus. She walks in every week with her cute stuffed friend, Lammie, and sits in a room full of teenagers and teaches us lessons on prayer and devotion and faith that I think preach more loudly than any lesson I could ever teach.
I love to watch her pray. She just closes her eyes, holding the big hands on either side of her, and prays straight to God. This Wednesday, we closed in prayer and Riley had one of the youth hold Lammie's hand.....I stood in a circle with Lammie and Riley and she prayed to God. I feel His presence when she prays. It was a holy moment.
Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
