Can you pray for some Chicken Nuggets?
I took my youngest daughter out shopping yesterday so she could use one of her gift cards she had gotten for Christmas. After that we decided to go and get a snack before dinner. We agreed on two orders of waffle fries and went inside to place our order. When we got back into the car I reached in the bag and noticed there was only one order of waffle fries and also a box of chicken nuggets, which I didn't order. I thought, "They must have given me someone else's order." So, I went back inside to return it. I was asked, "What did you order?" "Just two waffle fries." I said. "OK we'll just put in the other fries and you can keep the chicken." I thought, "Wow, that's nice." Now, when my daughter and I were inside the car eating she says to me, "I prayed for those chicken nuggets." I was totally blown away and was like, "You did what?" "Yeah dad, I prayed we would get chicken nuggets." She said. Again I asked, "You just prayed for these nuggets, just now?" "Yeah dad, I did." Both of my daughters love to pray, but apparently my youngest loves to pray for chicken too! Before we placed our order I had told my daughter that we were only getting the waffle fries, because it was close to dinner time. So, without even asking me for the chicken she prayed quietly while inside the store, and God made sure we had some chicken in that bag! That was an awesome answer to prayer, and a great way to end 2016! Who is God good to? God is good to those who depend on Him... Lamentations 3:25 New Living Translation You may have had a rough 2016. However, I believe that if you simply learn to depend on God, even for the little things like chicken or a parking spot, that you're going to have a truly blessed 2017. Remember it's not your perfection, but your dependance that gets God's attention! Happy New Year!

Lauren (and Shelby) is such a lovebug. Whenever I think of her, chicken comes to mind. You and Lori are raising them to depend on the Lord for everything! God smiles when I lift you guys in prayer and so do we.

Great story Chris. I love the fact of children doing life with Jesus and prayer as just "what we do." It shows they are being nourished at a young and realize it's normal to pray. Continued successes!
