More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb."

A New Funny...

I often schedule posts up to 2 weeks out but have to 'add on' to today's post with something that happened at prayer time two nights ago!

Before we pray as a family we talk about what we are going to pray for to help the kids understand better. We ask them who we should pray for and why...but our list lately has been pretty much the same:

*Mr. S to be healed of his cancer
*M.M. to to well on her interview/find a job
*Help us find a house or land in our town that would work better for daycare
*That our children would realize their need for Jesus in their life at an early age
*Patience for us while we have the 2 troubled foster boys in our home
*For Grandma & Grandpa
*For Mark & Teresa
*For one more Pumpkin in the Patch
and a few more ~personal~ ones.

Well the way we have been having the kids pray at night is that Daddy says one to three words at a time and Princess & Boo repeat what he said. Two nights ago our kids were extra tired from the events of the day and Handsome got to the part where we pray for our kids and he said "And for Princess" Boo repeated, but at the very same time Princess unfolded her hands and opened her eyes to say, "what do you need, Daddy?" in the sweetest little voice ever. Handsome told her we were praying and she needed to focus on our prayers to Jesus so he tried again, "And for Princess" to which she said "what do you need Daddy?" We tried one more time "And for Princess" and this time she with her tender little heart thought she was doing something wrong so she started to cry a little...we just paused the prayer and explained that we were praying for her, not talking to her, and then continued on....oh the precious sweet tender heart!
