"Mommy, can you go like this?" my three year old asked me tonight. I looked up to see her folding her hands. "Sure hun, why?" I asked. "I want to pray" she replied.
Praise God! Of Course!! She proceeded to say "Dear Lord, thank you for a beautiful day, and playing outside, and mommy, and daddy, and Kaitlyn, and Andrew, and animals and duckies and fishies and horsies, and snoopy. i pray that I stay in bed all night and don't get scared, and pray for another baby in mommys belly, and for daddy to drive home safe and for Kaitlyn to grow up strong and for when Kaitlyn cries mommy says one minute and she feeds her so she won't cry..." Alexis went on and on, but those first few run on sentances are ingrained into my head. How beautiful it was to hear my daughter praying on her own. I usually lead them into prayer, but Alexis decided after we were done, that she wasn't!

That's beautiful!
My baby has been folding her hands & praying with us since she was 10 months. She's almost a year now, but it still gladdens my heart every time. Now she says "Amen," too.
Godly living is what enables godly parenting... godly parenting creates godly children. This is such a testimony to our awesome and powerful God, and a blessing to this grandmother's heart. Love you all,
Mom.
