This is great! I bought a little book a couple of years ago about praying for grandchildren (since that is the life-stage at which I currently live.) Your Sunday Seven helped me renew and extend some of those thoughts. I have to keep reminding myself to stay vigilant and call on the Lord BEFORE the problems arise instead of wailing and bailing later.
