Kid's Prayers

I love listening to my kids pray they say the funniest things. Tayson is a very good communicator and takes his prayers very seriously. Luke on the other hand prays as fast as he can and has to start over if he gets out of his rhythm. Here are some of my favorite things Tayson has said in prayers:
  • Please bless that we will all die (long pause)so that we can be resurrected someday and live with Jesus (this was at Easter dinner when he was 3)

  • Please bless that no tigers will get out of the zoo and eat people (from the tiger attack this past December)

  • Please bless that no-one will get out of jail and come get us at our house.

  • Help us to not say bad words, even when we are at the airport.


Luke on the other hand always says the exact same prayer. Every prayer has a blessing for the food in it. He always blesses the bishop, Pres. Hinckley and the missionaries in the same order every time or he has to start over. He always blesses Mark on his mission and that Chelsea will get home safely (no matter the time of day). If someone else says a prayer and misses something that he thinks needs to be in the prayer he will loudly whisper it to them across the table/room to make sure they don't forget. He's very helpful :)

Kids are so cute. I love to hear what they say in their prayers too. It is really cool as they get older and you start to hear them really pray for what is in their heart..and, it makes sense, and sometimes it is deep. Thanks for sharing...made me laugh
