Photo Prayers
If you've ever spent very much time with me- I probably have a picture of you! No, I'm not a photographer but I take tons of pictures. Seriously. My children will never have to wonder what their childhood was like. I can show them a picture of just about everything they've ever done!
Today, Brianna and I were reminiscing over photos in an album from 2009. She didn't remember much of it, but I sure did. There were pictures from vacation, Valentines Day, Birthdays, Easter, Summer camping trips.... so many good times! All with family and friends.
What a blessing to have such great memories with the people we love! That thought turned into a quick prayer thanking God for surrounding us with such love. Then I saw a picture of my dad and remembered that his shoulder has been hurting and said a quick prayer for him. Then I saw a picture of Roger's dad and said a quick prayer for him... and then... well... you see where this is going... our reminiscing time turned into prayer time. Brianna and I took turns praying for the people we saw in the pictures.
We started out saying a one sentence prayer for each person in each picture (not including ourselves). But, we found ourselves praying for Roger and Rio A LOT! After about 20 pictures we decided to only pray for new people. lol (It was a completely full 500 picture album- and I've gotta work tomorrow!)Now granted, most of the photos were people very close to me that I usually pray for anyway. But, there were some random people in there that got a prayer sent up for them tonight. Maybe they needed it. I hope so.
All in all, we enjoyed our reminiscing/prayer time. It was a fun way to mix things up.
