But being prayed over by my 4 year old son?
Guess how I felt when he did.
Are you for real, anak?
What did I do to deserve such a good boy like you?
Like in my previous posts about my son, I am writing this because I want to remember something special that my son did.
Wednesday: Sam had the tummy bug and since Wednesday I have been doing laundry, heavy laundry, aside from the usual chores at home.
Friday: kids went to childcare. at breakfast I already felt something different in my body. When I picked them up, I was informed that Liam had vomiting episodes. Now, that makes us three. no, that makes us five, since Anika, and Lance also showed the symptoms of the tummy bug. Even if I was feeling sick already, I decided to wash their beddings and soiled clothes from childcare (because I wanted to get rid of the germs and eliminate of the germs having another go at our home and making the kids sick). Result, by dinner time I was having chills. I really needed to drink medicine.
After dinner, Liam was playing with the tablet. I was having chills.
Liam (looking so concerned): Mama, do you like me to play your song?
Me: is it okay?
Liam: yes (he then selects "A Thousand Years" from the list of songs from the tablet, as it has been my current favorite.)
Liam: Is that a relaxing song mama?
Me: yes
Liam: Don't worry mama, I will take care of you.
Liam then goes to my side and gives me a massage at the back, asking me if it was making me feel better.
Liam: Don't worry mama, when you are sick, me, Papa and Sam will take care of you.
Liam then starts to pray, makes the sign of the cross and prays over me! Asking Jesus that I feel better already. He prays it with so much sincerity and concern, I already felt better just listening to him and looking at him pray over me.
Mother's Day is fast approaching, but who needs gifts or cards when you get to experience something really special like this? I really felt loved and special that moment. I didn't cry but I had an overwhelming feeling inside me. I felt I was in good hands. I felt that I can count on my son.
Thank you, Lord for the gift of my son.
Thank you, Lord for the gift of prayer.
Thank you for that very special and humbling experience of my son praying for me.

| Liam praying for me was more than enough, but he still gave me these early presents for this year's Mother's Day. The tree was an output from his Pre-school and the card was an output from the KFC assembly last Sunday. |
