I have had that moment… when our son asked if he could be the one to say grace at a friend’s house at dinner, where it was obvious that saying grace is not a habit. What is that instinct of self-consciousness? Maybe it is the incomplete recovery from junior high school. Praise God that our children have not grown that instinct yet.

Thanks for stopping by. Stories are meant to be shared and I love to know others are reading them.

It’s like having a vacuum on in the background, isn’t it? A dull steady drone. If only it could be so easily unplugged!

I really love this story. It has God’s urgings written all over it. You have a marvelous way of turning a story. Thank you for your words. I feel oddly bolder, now.

Lisa-Jo, you are showing courage by raising and discipling a young boy who WANTS to stand and sing to his God.

And on a less serious note: “the toddler maintains a slow whine over top of everything.” Oh my, do I EVER know what you mean!

I loved this story! Oh for the unselfconsciousness of a child!

The “Cobbies” – that’s classic! We have resorted to old Batman episodes circa 1970s for villains that don’t terrify us or our sons. And heroes that really are good guys. So, we’re in the same boat!

I love listening to kids praying. I was just telling my friend this morning about my youngest one’s night time prayers. She thanks God for everything from friends and family members to pizza and Cobbies (The Cosby Show – Yes, we have resorted to old 80′s sitcoms in a desperate search for family friendly television.)

It’s a wonderful habit you have taught him!

Great reminder for our attitudes to be the same in public and in our private lives. I tagged you with a meme over on my page -- letters to yourself: TexasRed Books
