Persistence

I have to preface this picture with the fact that this girl LOVES to eat.  It is her happiest times of the day, every single day!  When it's meal time, it's time to get down to business, with no messin' around.  Well, to her, for the first two months of being home, praying before meal times was considered "messin' around", and we usually prayed quickly, while she fussed and hollered for her plate of food to be delivered!  Tonight, for the first time, after working on it for so long, she stopped, bowed her head and folded her cute little hands and closed her eyes while we prayed.  Okay, so I have to admit that NONE of the rest of the family had their eyes closed after we saw what she was doing, and we all clapped and clapped after prayer.  What a sweet, sweet moment that I (we) will never forget!  Yes, THANK YOU, Lord, for our food, and for our many blessings, including this sweet one!

(and no, I don't photo every prayer time, we had a re-enactment after dinner was done!)

    Absolutely adorable...nothing grabs my heart more than a child in prayer. She looks so very sweet in the picture...even if it is a 're-do'. :) I just love to watch our little Nathaniel squeeze his eyes tight and fold his sweet little hands and pray...melts my heart everytime!
