Praying

I write a lot about my kiddos, but that is my life and that is how it should be. I believe God has called us to serve Him, and part of that is serving our husbands and children. I would not want it any different. I am so blessed to be able to devote all of my time and attention to my family. My husband works hard and makes sure that I am able to be home with our two little blessings. Could not ask for more than that. And I am trying to notice and appreciate as much as I can before they are grown...and not as cute as they are now lol!

I am sooo not perfect and make mistakes everyday, but I am doing my best and I believe the Lord will bless because of my effort.

Every once in awhile the kids will do something that warms my heart and reminds me of why I put so much work into my job as their mama. Last night at church was one of those times. It was time to start services and our Pastor (who is also grandpa to my kids) said that he was going to open in prayer. So I had Hannah and told her we need to be quiet while grandpa talked to Jesus. Ben was on Dan's lap. And Dan told Ben we were going to pray and to bow his head. Grandpa started his prayer out "Dear Heavenly Father" , which is the same way we start out prayers at home. At home I say a phrase and the kids repeat after me. Well Ben just went right along with that thought and repeated what his grandpa was praying. He did it through the whole prayer. Grandpa would say a phrase and Ben would repeat it. It was so sweet and what a great picture it gave....a grandpa, praying and his grandson following along and learning from him. I am so thankful for my kids' grandparents. On each side they will have strong examples of faith. Ben prayed in church last night and it warmed my heart. There are blessing all around!
