what a difference a year can make

I feel like I am always telling stories about Kati, but we keep saying, even if no other children had changed, Kati would have been worth it all. A year ago if asked to pray for the meal, Kati would say she didn't know how to pray and quickly pass it off to someone else. Last week she called me into her room about 8:30 at night and said, "Don't forget to pray for Claudia because her teeth are hurting and I will pray too." Indeed Claudia had not been able to go to the dentist that day and was whimpering in her bed. I told Kati, "Let's just pray now." She prayed the sweetest prayer for Claudia and cried out to God on her behalf. And God answered her prayers.
