hands

as i grew up, my daddy would put his hand on me whenever i was sick at the very spot that i was hurting and pray for it. as i got older, i would go to him and take his hand and put it on my hurts, then he would pray. when i started dating P, i told him about this and he took to it. whenever i was sick, he would put his hand where it hurt and pray for me. on days i would have thoughts racing, he would put his hand on my head and just pray for that. today as i sat on the couch, thoughts racing through my head, i felt P's hand on my head and i started to cry. he's still praying for me.

we did that for A and she still asks me to pray for whatever hurts. if she sees someone hurt, then she asks to pray for the person. if a baby is crying, she'll want to pray for them. i'm trying to teach her to pray about it herself.
