Family Prayer


This was too cute not to share. We were saying family prayers tonight and all the kids take turns to avoid fights. Quinn said his usual prayer and blessed everyone and everything he could think of until I had to cut him short so the other two could have turns. Carissa did her normal "Dear Heavenly Father, Amen" and then when it was CJ's turn he took his time and really thought about what he was saying, he was finishing up and said "bless the water in remembrance of the blood of thy Son, Amen." It was too sweet, they have been trying really hard to make their prayers more meaningful and it is so fun to hear what they think about. It is time like these that really strengthen my testimony of how important Scripture Study and Family Prayer is, even when it doesn't feel like they are paying attention or getting anything out of it, it is little things like their sweet little prayers that remind me just how important it really is and how they really are listening and building their own little testimonies.
