Playing/Praying

At a recent barbecue, our kids were inside watching the game and I was outside with Joy and Lucas. We were playing some kind of chase/adventure game, of course, and the bad guys were gaining on us. Joy sat in the wagon, holding on as we avoided fallen oranges and leaf piles. Lucas tore around on the tricycle, shouting out instructions. “Watch out! They’re coming” There was a moment of tension as we braced for the onslaught.

Suddenly, Joy had a smile on her face and said, "Jesus help us! The bad guys are going to get us!"

"Lord, please help us!" I said.

Lucas made some explosive noises and then said, "It’s okay, they're gone."

"Thank you Jesus!" I said.

"No, that was me," said Lucas.
