Praying Hands

A discipline that my husband and I have established in our home is praying with our son throughout the day. This started early on before he knew what was going on and over time he too has picked up this daily discipline which has been such a blessing for us to see. Sometimes in my haste, I'll forget to pray and out pops from his sweet little voice, "Mama, praying hands." It humbles me and reminds me that I forgot to pray and I'll stop what I'm doing and will pray with him. This is one of those treasures that touches my heart each time I hear it. I've even been known to purposely forget just to hear his sweet little voice say, "Mama, praying hands." Now we're working with him on praying for us by repeating what we say. It's such a blessing to hear him pray even as he stumbles and skips over words.
