A kid's Prayer.......
My kids are so cute when they pray, they are straight and precisely to the point. The other day Dylan was praying and at the end of his prayer he goes, "K, God?" It was the cutest thing ever and it made me think of all of OUR prayers and how sometimes we, as Adults, are not necessarily praying to God, but are trying to impress the people around us with our magnificent ability to say wonderful prayers. Why can't we be more like a kid anyways, God knows our true motives and if we are praying to hear how good we can pray, will that prayer REALLY be answered? i think when we are most sincere, we do not use all of those big words that make up a beautiful prayer. I have to tell you, though, nothing is more beautiful than to hear your son or daughter pray a heart-felt prayer. That is probably how God feels too.

I love the prayer post. Kids do say the funniest things. Today I was wrestling with Levi and all of a sudden he got really serious. "Mom", he said. "You need to be more careful or else you are going to break God in me." I love their little minds and how they work.
I hope you have a great night.
