"Teach Us to Pray"

It's a real blessing to teach your children how to pray. But I encountered a new blessing last night: Listening to one of your children teach another one how to pray! As Brenda and Jesse were hanging out last night, Brenda told Jesse just what to say and he repeated after her word for word! He thanked God for mommy, daddy and the baby in mommy's belly. He also thanked God for missionaries, which he had no chance whatsoever of pronouncing, but he tried anyway. He wrapped it up with "In Jesus' name, Amen." There's a very real possibility that Brenda will grow up and make it her aim to lead her siblings to the Lord before Mommy or Daddy do! Of course, neither of them understand yet what they are saying, but if the habit is there now, the deeper meaning will come later. Hopefully, everything Brenda teaches her younger siblings will be equally beneficial!
