Bedtime Prayers

I wonder if those of you with small children realize what an awesome thing it is to tuck them into bed and listen to their prayers?!

Wait until they're grown and you'll really miss those moments!

I am very blessed that sometimes I get to relive those wonderful long-ago days!

My friend Lisa has the spiritual gift of hospitality, and awhile back she started inviting me to come over to her house on Wed. nights after church (her husband gets home late due to band rehearsal).

I was, and still am, absolutely enthralled to hear those precious girls pray!

Tonight and also Friday night I get to put them to bed and pray with them all by myself, and I can't wait!

I love being an honorary grandmother (I even got a grandmother birthday card on my birthday!), but I'm trying very hard not to spoil them too much so I don't lose my babysitting privileges!

But if the prayer time runs a little long and the target bedtime is a tiny bit delayed, what can I say?! It's hard to get un-enthralled once you're there!
