We do family devotions and prayer at bed time (just about) every night with all the kids. We usually start with some songs then read the Bible and then pray. Each child is given the opportunity to pray and say whatever they like even Katie mumbles when she is in the mood! The other night during prayer time the kids were all excited and praying for things like 'thank you for my bike' and 'thank you for toys', 'thank you for brothers and sisters' and prayer for 'Daddy to get a job'! When it was Jack's turn he had some things on his mind.............................
"Dear Jesus, Please help Sammy to stop being so angry all the time..........Please help Eve to learn to control her temper and please help Abby to stop being so antagonistic.......AMEN!"
Yes, that was his prayer...........Short and right to the point! He is not a man of many words and Joshua and I were kind of lost for words.............we just chuckled a little!
