PRAYING FOR THEM FOR YEARS

David Stone is a preacher I know, and his mother changed my prayers for my children. She says that from day one she prayed that God would just surround them with an envelope of protection from Satan. But... she also prayed from day one for the girl that one day Dave would marry, even though she had never met them. After hearing that, Deb and I did that. Every day we prayed for our children’s future mates. And when our oldest son Rusty married a beautiful Christian girl, Janice, and our oldest child Marlo married a wonderful Christian man... Well, I’ll tell you.. It was so natural to love that girl and guy, because we’d been praying for them for years.
