I'm learning more and more what "faith like a child" is. From, well, a child.
Talia has really liked praying lately. It's super cute and funny and downright heart-melting. And she
We ordered pizza the other day while Daddy was working late. (Side note: whenever it's dinnertime, she goes to the stairs and calls down to Daddy. She hollers as loud as those toddler lungs will let her and says "DADDY!!!! DINNERTIME!!!!!!" And she'll keep at it until he's sitting at the table. So cute!) Anyway, back to my praying story. She tried to call for Daddy, but he wasn't home so instead she went "Thank you Daddy!" And I said "Why are you thanking Daddy? He didn't make the pizza. Well I guess we can thank him for working and making money so we can buy the pizza." After I said that she very vehemently said "AMEN!" So even non-official prayers get Amen-ed.
Other times, she'll wait to eat her food and say "Pray!" before we start. Other times she just dives in, especially if dinner is cheesy in any way- the girl loves cheese. Win some, lose some.
The other night was the best though. We said our goodnight prayers and I got up to leave and she said "Mommy more prayers!" So I had to go back and say more prayers. Then I got up again and she said "Mommy more prayers!" She didn't want to stop! I then told her she can pray and talk to God anytime. That seemed to make sense to her so Mommy was allowed to leave her room finally. :)
She's only two, but this much makes sense to her. Maybe all the faith stuff ain't so complicated after all. :)
