My children Elnora and Emmitt share a room at my tiny apartment. My son just called me into the room. He was scared of monsters. So was his sister. So I hugged each of them for a minute and explained to them that there were no monsters except for crocodiles and things like that, and they don’t live around here. And if there were any monsters anyway, Jesus would protect them. Feeling better, both Elnora and Emmitt climbed back into their beds. At this point, my daughter noticed a star out her window. She pointed to it and excitedly asked me to make a wish. I told her that I wish that I would always be a good daddy for her and her brother. Then Elnora said something profound. She said, “Now pray that to Jesus and your wish will come true.” And I believe that it will. I am so very blessed indeed.
