First Prayer

Since being on holiday Mischief has started saying her own prayers. For a while now she has been adding her own things to be thankful for to our evening prayers but yesterday when I was drying her after her shower she started praying by herslf totally unprompted. To say I had a moment is an understatement.

She prayed for such diverse things as lovely food, holidays, pjs and sleeping bag, Aunty Maxine, doggy and Babbitt, the seaside and many more I can't remember. I was lovely and she went on for about five minutes, each one starting with Dear Lord, thanking for something and Amen.

Tonight, whilst on the toilet for her bedtime wee she said Dear Lord, thank you for soap and wees and poos, Amen. Odd but strangely lovely.

I adore how loving she is, even going as far as kissing and cuddling a page better when there is a sad character in her stories, and I love that she's started praying now too. Long may it continue and I pray we can help her grow in her love for Jesus. I caught them reading her prayer book together.
