Lexi loves to pray.
Sometimes, I think it is a power thing,
but really ~ do I dare tell my child she can't pray??
One of the things I love about her prayers,
is that she words her requests as thank-yous.
Instead of, "Please help Mommy be more patient."
she says, "Thank-you that Mommy will be more patient"
"Thank-you that we will be obedient"
"Thank-you that Daddy and Tony will come home safely"...
Today, at church, they showed a video for
(Tyler loved the video - I wasn't crazy about it - but that's beside the point)
When Lexi prayed this evening at dinner
(sing-prayed. thank you oo oo....)
one of the things she said sang was,
"Thank you that we can go to the sto oh ore
to buy presents"
And I'm thinking - wow! I guess that video was pretty good
after all - I mean, she's only 2 and she got it.
Then she added,
"for us
for us for us for us"
That's too sweet! maybe she saying thank you as she knows God is listening to her precious words. :)
