Luke's first prayer

Luke has not been too eager to say prayers. Let me rephrase, he is quite willing to fold his arms, close his eyes, etc. But he has not been so eager to repeat our words so he can "say" a prayer. Sometimes he'd do it, but most of the time, nope.




For the closing prayer for Family Home Evening last night, he shook things up!

I started the usual prompts and he, like usual, sat in silence. So I just kept on going myself. But after a few more words, he joined in and I let him go on and finish by himself.

He picked it up here...

"Bwess Mamas,

Bwess Papas,

Bwess Daddy,

Bwess Mommy,

Bwess Eeya (Ava).

Be nice.

Name Jesoos Chwist, Amen!


He did forget Max, but I'd say for the first time all by himself, it was a roaring success!

That is so cute of him. There is not doubt that the best way to teach a kid is by example. I bet he has a great one from his fam. Good job!

Noah has recently started saying prayers all by himself. We always ask what he is thankful for and what he is going to ask for and it is always a surprise what actually comes out! And Ian, well, he is right there with Luke and it is just about the sweetest thing! My heart melts every time!
