In which Irene discovers the power of prayer

Irene, 11, is totally awed by the power of prayer.

She was totally addicted to her beloved iPod touch, listening to books on it, emailing, playing games, sleeping with a story playing, waking to its alarm. It was becoming her life. What I objected to were the games.

I asked my prayer group, Anne, Juliet, Helen, and Bea  to pray about this addiction.

And, “oddly” in 6 days, this treasure was lost.

Irene snuggled up to me & asked, “Mum, do you think that if you all hadn’t prayed, I would have lost it?”

“Yes!” I said. She sighed!

Irene, this morning, sadly, “You know, mum, God isn’t very logical!” Then she realized that would be suggesting that she has a better mind than God (who is one person definitely and undeniably smarter than my curly-headed sweetie) said, “Oh!” stopped herself, and was sad, silent and thoughtful!
