For a couple of months, it was a huge struggle to get Gaby to participate in praying or even be tolerant of us praying. It must have been a phase because she is now back to reminding us to pray, praying along, and even volunteering to lead us in prayer. I love hearing her little voice echo my words as we talk to God about our day and give Him thanks for all the things He has blessed us with. Many times, she even interjects her own thoughts and prayers for others who we may have forgotten or for whom she feels strongly in heart needs to be prayed for.
The sweetest sound for me this week was when we were praying before lunchtime on Wednesday. My friend, Kristin, and her 1 year old daughter, Mackenzie, joined us for lunch and a playdate and we were sitting around the table getting ready to thank God for our food. Gaby decided she was going to go ahead and start, with a little help. Savannah later chimed in for God to bless people in our family. Mackenzie also joined in and shared a prayer of her own.
