Prayer

Faith taught Shawn and I a new prayer that she insists must be said anytime before we eat! She learned it at her new school. We've always prayed before we started eating, but for now, she wants her prayer to be said. It's actually a song-prayer.

Sung to the tune of, Are you Sleeping.

God our father, God our father
Once again, once again
We thank you for our blessings
We thank you for our blessings
Amen, amen

And of course, we always say our good-night prayer that we learned from Marsha Mason. This is a prayer that her husband always prayed with his two daughters, even while he was away on business trips. I've been saying this prayer with Faith and Jaxon since they were itty-bitty.

May God bless you with
Peace and Grace
Power and Protection
Health and Healing
Holiness and Godliness
Abundance and Prosperity
And all the Fruit of the Spirit
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
