Thank You Jesus

(don't mind that my children are mainly "nakey" in this picture... it actually happens quite a bit---haha!)

We've been praying with the babies for a long time. It was so fun when they got to each new level: first it was clasping their hands, then they would close their eyes, and now they will even say the prayer with us out loud (well, mainly Ella). It's the sweetest thing and warms our hearts. Not sure why Evan says this, but always likes to tell the drill: "hold hands, head down, mouth closed". No one has ever told him that, but he likes to say it. Perhaps that's why he doesn't say it out loud, but you can definitely see that he's saying it inside his heart with lots of concentration.

And they remind us constantly (not that we forget, but they're on top of it!) to pray before we eat. Now anymore they even like to pray before they eat their dessert (fruit). They like to pray before bedtime and even at random times. It doesn't matter where we are either... a restaurant, a friend's house, wherever, they know that this is what we do and give thanks to God for what we have. I love their genuine and childlike faith... it's encouraging and beautiful.

Thank you Jesus for this food.
We love you Jesus.
Amen.
