Living with a one year old is amazing,
but it’s also exhausting. Every day this
little guy demands a lot of our time, and the moment we stop paying attention
to him he winds up climbing on the kitchen table and smashing food into his
hair… Exhausting!
Earlier this week, Kira and I were attempting
to finish all our chores after work, and the baby was being extra
stubborn. We put some food in front of the
kid to keep him occupied, but when we looked over he had his hands folded. He was looking at us wondering when we were
going to pray.
We’ve tried to teach him to pray from a
young age, and for a long time it didn’t seem like he cared much. It’s still hard to say how much he really
understands, but he just started to bow his head, fold his hands, and shout “Amen!”
and throw all his food into the air. (Ok, he doesn’t have it all figured out,
but it’s still pretty cool…) Seeing our
child sitting down ready to pray was a reminder of how important prayer really
is. It doesn’t matter if life is crazy, exhausting,
or just wearing you down. Prayer has
value.
Today, I hope you can all believe in
the power of prayer. May you all find
life, peace, and grace wherever you may go.
Blessings!
PB
