"Help Me Behave"
Tonight's prayer with Addison:
me: "Addie, fold your hands and say after me, 'Dear Jesus, thank You for today.'"
Addie: "Dear Jesus, thank You for today."
me: "Thank You for Mommy, Daddy, Bubba, and Gray Gray."
Addie: "Thank You for Mommy, Daddy, Bubba, and Gray Gray."
me: "I love You so much. Please help me be a good girl."
Addie: pauses, then looks at me. "I love You so much. Please help Mama be a good girl."
me: trying not to laugh, "Help me obey. "
Addie: again, staring at me, "And help Mama obey."
me: "Amen."
Addie: "Amen."
Well, after pondering that, I guess Jesus can take it how I intended, or as it was spoken. Everybody, even mamas, needs a little help sometimes.

That is too precious. They grow up so fast and I guess we mammas manage to somehow grow up too! Lol
How funny! The point is talking to Him I guess, regardless!
She's firecracker! Love it. Behave, now, Sarah.
She is a firecracker for sure, Gretchen! But this time she was sincere--every time I said "me" for her, she thought I was referring to myself! Those crazy pronouns . . .
After the last couple of days I've had, I'm thinking this Mama could use some of those prayers:-)
Love the sweetness!
That is precious!
Once my youngest prayed, 'Thank you God for my strong healthy body.' (so far so good) Then she added, 'because without it, I'd just be a head.'
We still laugh at that one.
I agree with Kelly. THIS mama could use some more of those prayers too. Some days are such a struggle and when Mama is not setting a good example it is hard to expect the right attitude from the tykes.
That is cute!
out of the mouth of babes, right?? We mamas need all the prayers we can get!! Love it!
Could Addie pray this for me too? The prayers of a child....
Please behave yourself today, Sarah :)!
Can I, the one who raised you, tell you how much I completely loved this?
