Today on this Thankful Thursday as we headed to school, the middle Son of Thunder was a bit out of sort.

This is unusual for him because he is usually calm, cool and collected.  That is unless he see a scary movie.  But today was different. It was different because he was running for a position as a 4-H officer for the fifth grade class.  Trying out for anything can be a bit unnerving. And he was indeed nervous.

As he worked on his speech and rehearsed it to us, he confessed he was a bit scared. Really, I think I could have told him that.

Then the what if’s started to come …

What if they don’t choose me …

What if they laugh at me …

What if I forget what to say …

What if I do not make it like the Eldest Son not making the soccer team last week? What if I don’t make it too?

Life is full of what if’s, isn’t it?

What if I get fired …

But after a moment of reassuring him, Seth simply said “Will you pray for me”

Great thinking Seth!, And I quickly broke into prayer.  I am so glad he thought of that.  Prayer should be our first resort and not our last.  Why didn’t I think of that. Ok, it was early and I must have needed more coffee!

“Let’s pray about that” is what I say.  He is taking my line and Praise God he is.

Life is full and we become distracted by all of its many issues.  But on this Thankful Thursday my heart is filled with joy that the middle Son of Thunder suggested prayer.  Just as his oldest brother does all the time.

Maybe I am rubbing off on them. Raising men of prayer, how awesome would that be.  I could not  imagine a greater gift! My mother would be so proud them.

So once again this week is much like last, win or lose, we can always trust our future to God on this Thankful Thursday and always know we are safe in the cross of Christ!

So be blessed and encouraged abundantly today as we remember to bring all things to God in prayer because He cares about the smallest detail of our lives – even the winning and the losing.

P.S. There is no editor today so be merciful!

Be blessed
