You have given those children a comfort level to realize that prayer is such a natural communication to be used at every juncture of life. What a gift!!

There are times I will be upstairs brushing my teeth or doing something else and I will hear one of them yell, "mom come pray we got to go!" I feel like I am sending them off to school with out a shoe or shirt or lunch etc....something is missing if I don't pray for them!!!!

Though it wasn't a formal thing, we did ask for the Lord's guidance, help, and protection this school year when we said the blessing before breakfast that "first day of school". And, often at the beginning of the week, we will ask for God's help to get us through it. When I was growing up, our family didn't really pray aloud, other than the sporratic blessing at mealtime... so although praying aloud with our children was awkward when we first started, I am so thankful that we do it now. In fact, sometimes we even break into prayer in the middle of traffic if we see an ambulance with it's lights on, for example. It is such a good thing for kids to have that calm reassurance that God is there.... always. (My kids would be so jealous that you have freshly baked goodies waiting for them when they come home that very special day.) What a beautiful tradition!

You will always pray with and for your precious children, even as they have children as prayer is faith for the future. Thank you for giving such a wonderful testimony to others.
