Every morning on the way to school we take turns praying in the car. It is a precious time with my children and I wish I could record their prayers each and every day because I never know what they will say. Yesterday morning as Princess was praying, there were several things that struck me. First, she began praying for all of the things she wants; new toys, good grades on her papers, etc. These are little things to me, but they are huge things to her. This got me thinking about how my prayers must sound to God. All of these little things I pray for myself that are a huge deal to me, but must seem so small to God. Then, as I was consumed in my thoughts about this, I was jarred back to reality by her closing statement. "And God, please help me to like you best, to love you better than anyone or anything else in my life. Amen." Wow! I think I'm going to take that one and use it. So simplistic, yet so deep.
I don't know your family, but I love how they bless me. THANKS for sharing!
