Roux's first prayer

Yesterday my son told me that during his quiet time in the afternoon he prayed to Jesus and thanked him that the sun came out. That's cute and all, right? But later, the significance of this moment hit me. This is the first time (to my knowledge, but considering my son's propensity to talk about everything and anything, I think it's a safe bet) he has prayed all by himself without the prompting of mom or dad. All on his own, he prayed. He is beginning his very own relationship with God, separate and yet in beautiful coordination with his family, extended family, school, and church! I am so very blessed and so excited to see God working in my 4 yr old's life.
