Volunteer

J said a prayer for the first time at church.  He wanted me right by his side, to whisper the words in his ear.  He didn't want to do it alone.

But he did great!  The most surprising part, though, is that he volunteered to say this prayer.  I actually was in the process of telling his teacher no thanks when she told me he had volunteered.  Of his own free will.  Miraculous.  And I hope it just keeps comin'!
