Prayers

Little kids are adorable when they pray. My boys know that they can ask God for anything. Usually their prayers go like this.

Dear Jesus, help God. Help me listen to Mommy and Daddy. Help Daddy get home safe. Help me sleep good. I love you. Bless Mommy, Daddy, Jameson, Teagen, Gavin, all my aunts, uncles, cousins and grandma's and grandpa's. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Tonight, Jameson added a lot more. He asked Jesus to come back soon. He said I love you at least ten times. He elaborated on how much he likes God's stories in the Bible. Then he ended with,

"And all God's people said, Amen!"

It took all that was in me to not start laughing and crying at the same time. It was one of thoose times when what comes out of their mouths amazes me. I love my boys.

I have been working on praying more myself. The boys have picked up on this, and now won't let anyone start eating until they pray. They notice everything, and learn to do what they see being done. I am teaching my boys, not only to read and count, but also to love God, and read His word. It's a lot of fun.
