praying hands

For the last few weeks we got to sit with Kristy Brown and her kiddos on Sunday Morning for worship services. This is a treat to me, I remember sitting with Kristy when she was pregnant with Logan and watching him move around. I have always enjoyed her children and of course being with her as well. Well, she is teaching Logan and Presley to sit quietly and to have quiet "praying hands" during the prayers. Logan has had this down for a while (although sometimes he would prefer not to) but Presley has just started folding her hands during the prayers. It is so cute to watch both of them pray. If Presley has a bag of munchies though, they are a part of her praying hands too. She's in no way, shape or form going to put her snacks down. Nope, the bag just dangles as she holds it tightly between her sweet little hands as her fingers are intertwined and her head is bowed.

This past Sunday Logan stood on the pew in front of us with me during the last song and prayer. I think he was really ready to go, through-out the prayer he would say "and amen" "and amen". As I whispered "praying hands" into his ear, he took one of my hands and folded his fingers in with mine, then he added hi other hand into the mix! Folding my hand in with his. It was all I could do to keep the tears from rolling down my face! What sweet children! What a good example their mommy is setting for them! What a wonderful thing I have to look forward to as Mikenna grows and begins participating in worship!
