Prayer Part I
While Christmas shopping several days ago, the three of us stopped for lunch at a buffet. We had forgotten to pray before the meal and so I said that we would pray after. This satisfied all parties, and let us finish our chicken and potatoes. However, when we went to leave and get in the car Deci was suddenly a very upset toddler. We figured it was just the in and out of the car after a full day of shopping that was making him irritated, until two streets later we realized that his toddler-ese whine was an actual word. "Pay!" in Deci means pray, and we had definitely forgotten to pray. But not my little elephant brain! He insisted, and so pray we did at the next stoplight. Cute-stuff folded his little hands, bowed his head in his car seat, and even said "Amen!" when we were all done. Suddenly the car was a much more pleasant place to be.
So today's lesson from Deci: Don't forget to pray!
