The other day Avagail was terribly hungry! It was 1/2 hr past her normal lunch time, I was very busy all morning and taxed already. Being that she is sick with an ear infection, she let me know how displeased she was with such an inconvenience to her schedule. As quickly as possible, I made her food, put it at the table, put her in her chair (all while listening to her whine and fuss) .... then I waited. She wasn't eating. I thought, "She needs a drink," so I rushed and got her some juice in her sippy cup. I came back to the table, she still just sat there. I stopped my rushing and looked down into her sweet face as she looked up at me. Quietly, he said "Pray?" As she folded her hands and closed her eyes. What a blessing to a mother's heart. In all my rushing around I had forgotten to pray with her, but even with being ill and hungry, she still made time for prayer. It is amazing the things my 17 month old teaches me!
