Aumi, my wife (pic) is a woman of immensely high energy levels. She wakes up in the morning and she is on the go until she drops…literally. But that is how she is and I like her that way. I wouldn’t change that for a million dollars (if there was a short time frame to the deal I could!)

Last Sunday she drove from Lilongwe to Rumphi and came back yesterday. That is close to 800 kilometers in two days. She did it in record time too. When I came home she was on the couch, exhausted. I decided to let her sleep off her exhaustion. We will talk and pray together in the morning. Fast forward to this morning and here is the crux of the matter.

She was still exhausted. I understood that she was still exhausted. I could have taken her to Antarctica hoping for the drastic temperature change to do its job but I don’t think so. My sweet heart was totally exhausted. So I thinking: how is this praying together thing going to work? She was exhausted but came up with an interesting idea: Let’s pray together with the kids. So in came Linga and Tami. We did not pray for a long time, 5 or so minutes at the most but we all took turns and that was it. Bringing in the kids kind of added and freshness we don’t have when it’s just her and me.

Consider the fact that Linga prayed for his cousin next door and thanked God that Mum is back safe. Tami went all the way praying for her teachers at school….

Get creative, once in a while include your kids. It will be refreshing plus, you will also be modeling the practice to them…
