A Child's Prayer



I Love to listen to Avery Pray. When children pray it is so sweet, innocent, and meaningful in its simplicity. Avery HAS to say the dinner prayer every night. Sometimes she says some really funny things, but last night at the end of her prayer she said:
"Thank you that I am a child of God"
I just thought it was so cute and sweet that she could recognize that knowing she is a daughter of God is something special. I wish I could pray with the faith and innocence of a child more often!

Good reminder of how we should be. I sometimes let myself get irritated that the kids say random things in their prayers, but they surprise me with their child like insite all the time.

I love Avery's prayers! She is so sweet! Hey I left a message on your old blog but I did the same thing!!! That is why I switched to my new blog back in December- I was just sick about it! Who did you email? I would love to recover my old blog. Thanks!
