For those who believe, prayer can play a big role in helping to guide us through challenges. It reminds us of a higher power and allows us to surrender worries or problems out of our control. Although many might pray over tragic circumstances or big issues, one mom shares a now viral post about her prayer on her Facebook page, about a sippy cup for her son.

Mother, writer, and education, Kali Dawson writes -

I prayed over a dinosaur sippy cup in my SUV this morning, head bowed, tears flowing: to the outside world it might seem strange--but not to a Medical Mama. Since we began weaning our 3-year-old off of the Predisone that he has been on since his life-saving Heart Transplant almost a year ago: he hasn't wanted to eat or drink any water. We've tried everything. So I went to the grocery store and grabbed anything I could think of that a toddler might say 'yes" to. He loves rainbow colored things and dinosaurs.
I was heading to the self-checkout and I saw these at the end of the aisle: I've been so worried about him I almost started to cry again because he loves George's dinosaur on Peppa Pig. When I returned to my SUV I prayed that he would accept water from this dinosaur. When I arrived home, I gave him the dinosaur water: 180mls of it...and he saw it and he said: "DINE-SAW!! RAWRRRR!!"Full of excitement. And he drank it!! And now he's happy and eating some of the colorful surprises I got him.
I always pray about everything for my kids. Even the little things that might seem insignificant: but nothing is ever insignificant to God. I believe God wanted me to go to that store and walk by these cups this morning. Because I was going to go somewhere else. I was up last night praying John would start eating and drinking and I was running out of ideas. Philippians 4:6 reminds us to pray about everything: So if you saw me in my vehicle holding a dinosaur sippy cup this morning with my head bowed:that's exactly what I was doing. Thank God He cares about every single detail: and we can bring them ALL to Him.

Why “G” rated movies have disappeared

In 2023, there were no G-rated films to hit theaters. These G-rated movies were a staple to kids growing up just a few decades ago, guarenteeing a safe viewing experience for everyone. The G stands for "general audiences" from the Motion Pictures Association, and PG is the next rating up with the disclaimer "parental guidance suggested". Movie classics like Finding Nemo, Beauty and the Beast, and Mary Poppins all are rated "G", while the new Paw Patrol movie (geared towards young children" is rated "PG" for "mild action/ peril" - which has many parents scratching their heads.
