I have many special moments with my kiddos during each and every day. However, I have come to cherish more than anything, the time I spend with them saying their bedtime prayers. Lane, is rather shy, and prefers to give me his prayer requests and have me pray out loud with him. Matthew on the other hand would have it no other way than to do it ALL by himself.
Matthews prayer last night was this:
Dear God,
"Thank you so much for this day and keeping us safe. Lord, I know tomorrow is gonna be a pretty day, but could you put a rainbow in the sky and send some rain with it so me and my brother Lane could ride our 4 wheelers in the mud cause that would be fun. I love you God. Amen."
And then after that, he had a couple other prayers -- including don't let the cows jump over Pop's fence and break it and get out so he doesn't have to catch the cows and fix the fence, take care of Nanna and Gram cause they live by themselves, take care of Lane (he had a headache) so he can get up and go to school tomorrow and take care of mommy and daddy while they drive their cars to work and to take us to school so they don't get in a wreck.
I am proud of ALL my kids, but it just puts a smile on face and skip in my step see Matthew's love and knowledge for the LORD grow in his heart!!!

Amen! I'd like a rainbow too!! Prayers aren't learned over night. Bless you for taking time to teach your children the importance and value of praying. That is definitely a life-long lesson they're picking up!
How precious! He definitely has a big heart for such a little guy!
Amen, sister! Not only have you taught your kids to love God, but those that are around you too. It is so much fun listening to the kids talk and their take on God and church. Love you!!!!
