Brett and teaching our children to pray.. we pray before we eat, we pray before we leave the garage to drive somewhere, and we pray as family before bedtime. But it dawned on me that I wasn’t do a very good job of teaching Curt to just talk to God!
Tonight after our normal bedtime routine which consists of baths, bible time (which is a story or a short VegiTale devo), one last trip to the bathroom and finally bed. After my shower and going back into check night lights Curt was still awake. He had a flashlight and a book that he had received from his Grandma Cindy for Easter, it was of the crucifixion and resurrection. He looked at me and asked, "Can we pray to God anytime we want, or just before we go to sleep or eat?"
We had a nice conversation about how we should "pray without ceasing" which may have been a little over his head, but I never cease to be amazed at the questions that come from this sweet child. Praying that I shepherd his heart in the right direction, he is a pretty amazing child.
amen! it does my heart good to see children pursuing christ! love it.
