Your grandkids won’t remember your outfit. They’ll remember whether you prayed for them.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

What survives you is not the surface. Nobody remembers what you wore, but people remember whether they were prayed for and whether somebody was steadily in their corner. That kind of thing gets passed down, sometimes without anyone naming it. The small faithful habits outlive almost everything you are currently worried about.

Start praying for people by name now rather than when you are older and it feels appropriate. Your younger cousin, your friend having a rough term, the person at home. Tell them you did, because knowing is half of what they keep.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Whose name have you never once carried into a prayer?
