Nothing sweeter....

My friend Emily sent me these Scriptures yesterday to pray over John Hunter. It seems like my knees are so sore lately from all the prayer we have been doing, but there is no sweeter joy than praying for your kids lives. Amen!!!

I didn't just want Eric and I to pray these prayers we wanted to get JH involved. So I cut out shapes from construction paper and wrote a different Scripture inside each shape (will post pictures later.... little man is sleeping).

Anyhoo... thought you might want to pray these prayers over your child (or future) children!
