Ok, JJ tonight said family prayer. In family prayer we try to encourage the person praying on behalf of the family to pray about what the family is thankful for and stands in need of. Before JJ (4 1/2 yrs old) started my husband reminded JJ to bless mommy and the twins (William and Rosie) for good health. So JJ prays, "...thank you for William and Rosie, and help us find a van...".
I just giggled because he had a lot of the right words, just approaching it differently.
So I helped JJ say his personal prayers and he said, "...bless mommy and the twins to feel good and bless us that we will get lots of money to buy a van and a bigger house...Amen".
One of the sweetest and funnest times as a parent is hearing your child pray. Hearing what is important to them (pizza is the most beloved food in prayer, God has been thanked overabundantly for it) as well as what they are striving to learn is so good.
