I believe...

Because of the change in seasons, Eli has had a stuffy nose and at night it gets really bad. The other night he wanted to sleep with us, which I agreed to, but I knew the snoring was going to be a problem. 

Eli wanted to say his bedtime prayers - which we did - then I added my prayers. I prayed that Jesus would heal us from allergies and that both of us would be able to breathe through our noses. Amen!

As we lay there, Eli's breathing started sounding rough. I had already shot some nose spay up my nose and the thought came to do the same for Eli.  I turned and asked him if he wanted me to spray his nose. Without thinking, he turned and said..."Dad, you just asked Jesus to heal me. He's going to do it."  With that, he turned over and went to bed and I got a lesson in faith.

Today Eli went to work with me because it was fair day in the parish that we live in.  Ally Maree, a friend of Eli's from school, was also there.  Ally's mom took them to get a snack in another building and returned laughing. She proceeded to tell me this story.
When she asked them what they wanted, they both had the same choice for chips.  Ally's mom put the money in, made the selection and the chips fell.  Eli quickly reached in and grabbed the chips.  Ally, a little disturbed, asked Eli why he got to go first and told him that those were her chips.  Eli quickly responded with this, "It's ok Ally Maree, when we get to heaven, the last will be first."
The boy knows how to use this scripture very well. :-)
