I'm going to have to record this girl praying sometime soon... last night's prayer (05.17.16)
"Thank God for Jesus our hearts. Thank you for Scarlett feel better. Thank you for my friends. Thank you for all blessings. Thank you for the rain to stop. Thank you for my 'nastics. Thank you for all the blessings. AAAAMEN!"
She may not always know how to put things into sentences, but she genuinely knows the things she wants to pray for. She even stopped in the middle of her prayer one night and said "Mommy, Ms. Suzie is sick. I missed to pray for her. 'Thank you Jesus Ms. Suzie feel better'". Love her heart of gold 💛 Trying to raise them right. Some days are harder than others, but when when she gives us that big 'ol hug and says "I love you" and when she prays her prayers; it makes everything all worth it!!

ReplyDeleteThanks Julie!! You would not believe some of the conversations we have with this girl and I'm sure Scarlett will be just as funny :) I always smile when she says these things
DeleteThey are a riot. I love talking to grace on the phone, she is so grownup sounding sometimes. Lol children have such pure view on the world and grace and Scarlett definitely prove that
ReplyDeleteWait until you start talking to Scarlett on the phone. She is taking more and more after Grace each and every day :) She is always "talking" on a phone (even if it is a remote, lol).
