Prayer

When I called mama yesterday I was surprised to hear her sounding very sick.  Well, it is kinda wet back home.  Being in the tropical region, you just get wet and wetter season.  This time of the year, it rains a lot. So getting colds is fairly common.  As with mama, she still goes to work so she's a bit susceptible to getting whatever virus and sometimes her system is down.  Anyway, so she was sick, so I asked if she took the time off and rest, that was what I would have done.  She didn't.  Why wasn't I surprised?  And when I asked why, well, she didn't want to stay home because Andy might get infected too.

Oh. That's really sweet.  Really.  Andy, being her, was too hard headed to listen to mama.  She'd taunt you about whatever you ask her not to do, she'll completely do the opposite.  Even when I called and told her not to go near mama, she threw the phone and said she will. Haaay.

Tonight though, when I had a chance to talk to mama, I heard a better/ cuter story.  When they slept yesterday, mama didn't sleep on her bed (with the baby) and stayed on the other room.  This got Andy worried.  She practically prayed like this, "Lord, pagalingin mo na ubo ni mama, pati sipon para tabi na kami uli"  and kept telling mama, I love you until she slept.

Well, prayers of kids are powerful. Mama's well. And andy learned the value of prayer. Thank you Lord!
