Our little girl loves Jehovah. She takes pride in her prayers. Sometimes, when she's really tired before bed, though, she asks for help in saying them. But for the most part, she talks to Him on her own, in her own words, expressing herself to Him. He is real to her, and that's beautiful.
It's really cute what she prays about. He always thanks Jehovah for all her activities of the day: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks; for her toys, for anywhere she's been during the day; she thanks Jehovah for Mommy, Daddy, Julian, and herself. Yep, she says, 'Thank you, Jehovah, for me.'
Last night, as she was praying, she was very, very tired. And at the end of her prayer, she told Jehovah she was tired, and it was time for her to go to sleep. Then she told Jehovah, he needs to go to sleep, too. Haha! I love it. It just shows that he IS real in her eyes. And that is wonderful.
You never know what your child understands, or to what level. So it's nice when you kinda get a glimpse into their minds and hearts.
LOVE.
