Scooters’ closing prayer
Heidi February 9th, 2011
This last Monday night, Scooters was having a difficult time attending to our Family Home Evening lesson.
When we finally got to the end, I volunteered him for the closing prayer because I knew it would be the best way to keep him reverent for it. :)
I had started having him pray for meals a couple weeks ago and he is so cute! He folds his arms and studiously watches me. Repeating every word I say the best he can.
Expecting this same behavior on Monday night, I began, “Say, ‘Dear'”
“Heavly,” Scooters skipped ahead.
“Heavenly,” I went on.
“Fadder,” he skipped ahead. Again.
“Father,” I went on.
“Amen,” he skipped ahead. To the end.
“We thank thee,” I went on.
“Amen,” he repeated.
“For our family,” I went on.
“Amen,” he repeated.
“Please bless us,” I went on.
“Amen!” he repeated.
“We love thee,” I went on.
“Amen!!” he repeated.
“In the name of Jesus Christ,” I went on.
“AMEN!!!!” he repeated.
“Amen,” I repeated.
