Yesterday afternoon I was driving down Alamo Drive. I had my 4 year old son Aaric in the car with me. As we were driving, two fire trucks passed by us in a hurry, with the sirens blaring. Aaric said "Mom, we need to pray" and I asked why. He said "someone needs help." I can't even tell you how many times I've been in that situation and it never occurred to me to pray for some unknown person that needed help. It was just so obvious to him. He started his intended prayer and then continued on to pray for his soccer practice and his family. God blesses all of us with different gifts. Even at the young age of 4 I can tell that Aaric has been blessed with a kind heart and the awesome gift of prayer. He is always the first one to suggest prayer. God has blessed our family with Aaric because he has so much to teach us. The next time I see an ambulance or a fire truck I will remember to pray for someone else who needs help. Maybe the next time you see a fire truck you'll remember to pray too.

Aaric has been blessed with two awesome parents. His parents have been blessed with him (and Aaron and Amanda).
Begoña and I discovered Christ through Jason (true story). It's evidence that God can use anyone, regardless of their age, to His glory.
Isn't it awesome what we can learn from our kids?
Aaric is such a sweet boy! My favorite Clontz! (besides Diane) Thanks for the great lesson.
love,
Waterman
