I really want my kids to know that God loves them...and that M & I love too. <BR/><BR/>OK...and my son came in while I was reading this. His comment: Mom...you have that book in your room. How did you get a picture of it on the computer? They notice the littlest details!kmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02659183247879049382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-9401783467046181062008-04-29T21:48:00.000-04:002008-04-29T21:48:00.000-04:00It's that time of day when all you want is a quiet...It's that time of day when all you want is a quiet moment and that is what they dread most- because they just might fall asleep if they're still.

In fact, just Sunday night, I had a very similar experience....I wanted to cry at their behavior....when are they going to get this???? I then told them about the book called, "Miss Nelson is Missing" that we read ALL the time. If you've read it, I told them VIOLA SWAMP was coming if they couldn't behave during prayer time. Now, you'll have to read that book.<BR/>I think your response was much better....I'm encouraged!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844422388378500327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-78652211870988332962008-04-29T12:54:00.000-04:002008-04-29T12:54:00.000-04:00Another really encouraging posts - thanks :)We too...Another really encouraging posts - thanks :)<BR/><BR/>We too have prayers here, and by that time of the night I am so tired, I don't know I could have responded so graciously.

We have done family devotions for years and years and years. Sometimes it is good. Sometimes not so good. Sometimes I struggle to keep the attention. Sometimes I feel like it falls on deaf ears. In the ned I figure it is still better than if I DIDN'T do them. As they are all older now, men really most of them, I know that they have to find their own walk with the Lrod and it will likely take something painful to make it "REAL". I still see that our devotional time has planted seeds...but God and not me will make it grow. Keep up the good work!luvmy4sonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261302721883036680noreply@blogger.com
