baby talk about faith

One afternoon, i was home with my 2 year old daughter while my son and husband were out on a chess game. We were playing and bonding when all of a sudden she stepped unto my slipper while we were playing TAG which resulted to a broken slipper. My reaction was:

i: ohhh, what happened? i dont have an extra pair…. (whispering to myself)

daughter: oh no! im sorry nanay (“nanay” means mom in our launguage)

i: it is ok, we cant do anything about it…

daughter: Papa Jesus, please fix nanay’s slipper please…thank you thank you…

I was surprised and humbled by this experience, i have never expected her to say those words. We pray but we are not religious. We dont say these things naturally. She was nonchalantly teaching and reminding me about FAITH. To be honest, i was embarassed because at my age, i sometimes forget that i can always rely on God no matter how small the matter is…I sometimes rely first on my own strength. That is probably why i am so tired most of the time. 

I hope whoever will read this will be reminded that we dont have to rely on our own strength, we have to make it a habit to rely and surrender to GOD at ALL times no matter how significant or insignificant the situation is. And that we should have faith, the faith like that of a baby. …so innocent yet so trusting….
