The power of prayer

Each night the boys all say their individual prayers before they lay down for bed. Bryan is to "old" for me to hear his prayers, so he says them in his head, I'm not sure what he says in his prayers, if they are anything like his dinner prayers he blesses and gives thanks for everything and every person in his life before he asks for anything! I still have the opportunity to listen in on Cole and Cody's prayers. They have both blown me away.

Cody- For two nights straight he said how grateful he was that he didn't live in the woods! I thought how cute, he's grateful for his house. On the third night of this I asked him what he meant, his reply was "At school we are reading a book and the family lives in the woods and the Dad has to get furry animals for the family to eat, yuk!"

Cole- Every night Cole thanks Heavenly Father for his life. Out of all of the things in his life, toys, friends, games, game stations, his motorbike, I am amazed he says his life. I always thank Heavenly Father for so many things in my life, but my life, I need to remember to be truly grateful for.

All three of my boys have taught me more about prayer then I ever could have taught me. They have this way of humbling you. I find that this time, prayer time, as Bryan is "thinking" his prayer and Cole and Cody are saying their prayers one at a time with Dan and I, to be my favorite time of day, I actually look forward to it. I am so thankful they each know where to go, who to be thankful to that we don't have to, "live in the woods"! I am so proud!
