However, I think her getting the 25% chance right is just that...pure chance. I know your grandchildren are wonderful, but probably not clairvoyant. :-)

TT’ers,
My son, Todd, and his wife, Shirley, have 3 daughters. Gretchen (to be 6
this July 4th), Heidi (just turned 4), and Sofie (just turned 2). When
Shirley was pg. with Sofie two years ago (Gretchen was 3 ½) they were all
hoping for a boy (weren’t sure what it would be), and talking about a baby
boy, etc. Shirley said all of a sudden one day when they were talking like
that, Gretchen looked at her seriously and said, “No, Mommy. This baby is
going to be a girl. The next one will be a boy.” Now Shirley is pg. again,
and this time they asked ultrasound tech to tell them the sex. It’s a boy!
:-) Question: Can a 3 yr old girl have a prophetic gift? (Or did she just
have a 50:50 chance, and got it right?)
Also, last year they explained the gospel clearly to Gretchen, and she
prayed to be born again. Then they said she started asking about their
neighbors, one by one, wanting to know if they are saved, too. Todd &
Shirley said they weren’t exactly sure whether the neighbors were saved or
not. Gretchen then cried and begged until they gave her permission to go to
each neighbor’s house, knock on the door, and tell them that Jesus loves
them, and they needed to ask Jesus into their hearts. Then she was happy.
What a pure heart children have when they are raised in a godly home!
Todd & Shirley don’t allow the girls to watch TV, they homeschool, (Gretchen
was reading at 4 yrs, now Heidi is reading, too), and they of course are
very involved in church and homeschooling groups. Last week they were not
able to go on their usual trip with the church group to visit and minister
at the local nursing home. Gretchen cried, heartbroken, about it. She just
loves going! Please pray for Todd’s whole family, including the new baby boy
(due in October). Shirley has had migraine headaches with this pregnancy.
Please pray for their protection, and for the Lord to bless, prosper, and
use them mightily. Thanks so much.
Izzy
