Annie and Barry have been having lots of bad dreams lately. I have told them that when this happens they can say a prayer and it will help them feel better. Barry started saying that he was afraid of the dark even before we turned out the lights at bedtime so I started saying a prayer with him to help him not be afraid. The other night I got down to kiss him good night and asked if he wanted me to say a prayer with him...
Barry "no mom I can say it all on my own."
Me "oh you can? what do you say?"
Barry "Heavenly father, bless me to not be scared of the dark"
Me "Does it help you feel better?"
Barry "Yes, I am not afraid of the dark anymore"
It is so amazing to watch the faith of a little child. He has total faith that when he says his prayers, the Lord will watch over him. I am so grateful for the power of prayer and the amazing blessings it brings to me in my life and in the life of my children.

I am always so surprised how quickly children come to understand the power of prayer. What a wonderful example Barry is! I am in love with your Jakey, if he ends up missing when you come to visit in the summer don't check my house. ;)
