Faith forming moments in the minivan

This morning as we were getting in the kid taxi to drop Cam off at Mother's Day Out, I asked him if he was excited to go play with his friends. He reminded me that one of the boys was sick last week. I asked him if he wanted to pray for his friend to be better. He immediately bowed his head and clasped his hands, so we prayed. Granted it was just a bad cold but to Cam, that's the worst illness! ;) We pray with him regularly but usually just for family members. It touched my heart. 

Fast forward to driving to "school" and singing songs, I sang "Rise and Shine" (if you don't know it, it's a kids song about Noah). Cam asked me to tell him the Noah story. As I did, when I got to key parts Cam started oohing and ahhing. It's awesome that he is starting to show faith and excitement about faith moments!

Usually on the way to school he plays with toys and mumbles to himself while I listen to the radio. Today showed me that these are teachable, usable moments with my son. I need to start taking advantage of them when I can.
