lesson learned

we've noticed lately that when our kids pray, they say the same things over and over again. we told them it's ok to pray for other things besides the usual stuff like family, safety etc. and it's ok to give thanks for other blessings we receive. the lesson being, let's try a little harder to think of others. with that said, mese's request during family prayer this morning was a bit insightful.

mese: "...and bless us(the kids) that we'll listen to mom...so she won't be angry."

wow.

That's funny! So was his prayer answered? Did they listen today?

He should have blessed Aunt Christine, I'm trying to not get so mad at the kids' antics. :) What a good boy that he phrased it that way, wanting to be more obedient.
