in shining armor...

I thought I'd share this since so many of you have had our children in your prayers.

This was Camden's story this morning as the boys were waking up;

"Guess what mom...There were lots of knights here last night. I was awake because I woke up when it was really early and I could hear them all around the house outside. They were all gold. I know because I saw one come in our room. I could hear him come up the stairs and he opened our door and left it open...but it was still closed. And he stood right there by the door. He was all gold and he had a helmet and a sword. But his sword was still in his sword holder. He was nice, but he was REALLY grumpy. He went like this...(insert vicious snarl) His eyes didn't see my eyes because he was standing right there watching Jude sleep."

To which Jude responded,

"Camden, there were lots of knights standing around my bed. They came to save me."

"Save you from what, Jude?"

"From my bad dreams."

Holy cow. That's amazing. Had Jude been having nightmares?

thank you for sharing. The girls were talking about this at the Val. party with Hayley and she was pretty emotional about it. They are so encouraged that God really answers our prayers and it encourages us all to remember God is protecting us.
