Do you remember my post on Reese’s Pieces Chocolate Cookies where we talked about all of our creepy dreams? Well maybe our daughter’s scary dreams haven’t gone away. I had no idea, but why don’t you make yourself some cinnamon roll pretzel bites and pull up a chair because I was so touched and a little heart broken when I heard her prayers the other night.
We believe in prayer in our home which means we teach our children that they can pray at any time, but they should also start and end their day with a prayer. Then as a family we also start and end our day with family prayer. It’s actually quite lovely to kneel together and give thanks for each other, our blessings and ask for blessings we or others need. It’s such a peaceful time and brings us together. Well, the other night was very revealing about our oldest daughter. She has such a tender heart and is very easily scared over things.
Anyway, in her prayer she said, “Please let two angels stand at the front of our house, two on each side, two on the back and two in our home to protect our family and to stay with us.” Oh, how my heart ached! I’m so glad that she believes that she can ask and receive help from Heaven as we do very much believe that our loved ones are aware of and watch over us, but how sad that she felt she needed protection. I hate that we live in a world that is not safe and we have to worry about such things. Bless her little heart. I hope we can help her to feel safety in our home.
