Prayers


The boys have their nighttime prayers down pat...you know the same words, in the same order...even to the point that if they miss a word they have to start all over because they get out of rhythm. We're not proud of this...in fact we've tried to get them to really think about their prayers and just talk instead of reciting. Sometimes we'll give them prompts in order to get them to pray about something different...sometimes it works, sometimes not. Just maybe they're starting to learn...this was the end of their prayers last night:


Caleb: "I love you God...alot."


I was on the verge of a tear after hearing that, and then Cody started...and ended:


Cody: "Please help school not be boring tomorrow."


Hey, it was different...I'll take it.
