Dear LORD...

If only they could always stay this sweet & innocent! I think that empathy & compassion for others are a some qualities that are learned behaviors...so, each night when I tuck Kathryn into bed we say a short & simple prayer together..."fish, sick babies, safe trip home for Gramma & Papa, Daddy's boo-boo get better, Mommy, & turtles" are among the many things she has prayed for. And, let me tell you, this kid has a mind like an elephant--she remembers what she has already prayed for & there aren't many things that get a second mention...unless she's praying for her own boo-boos or boo-boo bites which are what she calls her mosquito bites both of which are really bothersome to her. This particular evening's prayer was her choice. I mentioned to her that afternoon that this person was pretty sick...

Enjoy!

Since this video, I was out one evening & David put Kathryn to bed. She reminded him that saying a prayer was part of her bedtime routine. David started the, "Now I lay me down to sleep..." prayer & she interrupted him, "NO, we NEED to pray for someone!"

Thanks so much for visiting and remember to ALWAYS enjoy your own life's wild ride!
