prayers

last year we moved out to denver with 2 other families to start new denver church. one of the families, the reddens, have 2 boys, ethan and andrew. now we really haven't spent a ton of time with them but this past week we did borrow some cowboy boots and hats from them to wear to the stock show and rodeo. maybe that prompted this? don't really know.
today i was with townsend in his room.
townsend- "what is ethan's daddy's name again?"
mommy- "stephen"
townsend- "what is ethan's mommy's name again?"
mommy- "kate"
townsend kneels down by his bed and says, "jesus, i pray for stephen and kate."
later when we were praying before bed he asks their names again and during his prayer he prays for ethan, andrew, stephen and kate. it was so sweet. he always prays for our family and will go through aunts, uncle and grandparents but he really never prays for non-family. i'm so curious as to what prompted his little heart to pray for the reddens. actually kate is out of town right now so maybe stephen needs the prayers! :)
