Prayers

The boys and I pray each morning on our way to school.

It is a short drive, maybe only 2 minutes,

but we make sure that's how the drive starts.

I started doing this with the boys just after the first of the year.

My goal was to do my best to

let the boys know the importance

of praying for others and caring for others.

My hope was that this would become a daily habit

for us and that it wouldn't just be a 

New Years Goal gone bad.

I am happy to say that it has become a part of our daily

routine and even more than that.

If I happen to forget to mention someone from the

day before, they are right on me saying,

"Mom, you didn't pray for..."

It fills my heart with joy to know that

this has become so much more than I had hoped it would be.

I love that they ask questions about who we are 

praying for.

It is also so nice to see answers to prayers.

I think my next step is to make a prayer journal

so we can see what a difference God is making!
