Golly I love the fall. Today was perfect. Rain. Cold. mmmm.
One of my absolutely favorite things in the world (and right now) is having a chilly room and a sweater and pajama pants and socks on and my hair up in a bun... It just makes me grin ear to ear.
But one of my favorite things in my life now, is when my kids at school, request "Amen". Which, of course, is prayer. I say "praying hands praying hands" and they put our hands together (somehow), and I tell them to close their eyes, and I fold my hands together and put them up to my eyes, and say, "God is great, God is good. Let us thank Him for our food. AMEN!" and we scream Amen and clap and yell YAY!!!
We do this like 7 times during our circle times.
Now, granted, I think they have figured out that they get food when we say prayer, but it still warms my heart and makes me giddy. Because they sign and say More! More! And they are just shouting AMEN! and sometimes they will repeat me when I say "God is great." But nothing thereafter.
Sometimes during our circle time before breakfast, we say "Amen" as many as 12 times?
Is that awesome?
I love working where I am not only allowed, but encouraged, to pray.
We pray at meals, we pray in bible, we pray for boo boos, we pray at nap time, we pray for healing and family and friends, and joy. And anytime we want.
And that my friends, is priceless :)
