It's made such an impact on our lives. You know Matthew accepted the Lord when he was six, and meant business about it too, because you can see the Holy Spirit working in his life.
One evening recently at the dinner table, Matthew blurted out "I think we need to pray for Alan RIGHT NOW." So we all stopped eating and prayed HARD for him. When we were done, I asked Matthew why he thought he needed to pray for Alan and he said he didn't know. I took the opportunity to explain about the Holy Spirit speaking to our hearts and that he needs to always be aware of when we might being hearing from Him. I told him that some people, as they get older or because of pride, don't listen. And that some can't even hear.
It was a wonderful teaching moment...

It was a wonderful teaching moment...It sure was! It's a good ting to teach kids to be aware of when the Spirit is nudging them. Sometimes He has to use a spiritual 2 x 4, but that works, too!
