Ryan's Prayer


Each night Tim prays with the kids right before bed. He asks Bekah & Joey what each of them thought was the best part of the day, then they thank God for that thing/person/whatever. He just started trying to incorporate Ryan into this too. Here was their conversation a few nights ago:

Tim: Bekah, what was your favorite part of the day?
Bekah: Spending time with Aunt Laura.
Tim: Okay, why don't you thank God for such a nice Aunt Laura that you get to be with so frequently.
Bekah: Okay. Dear God, thank you for a nice Aunt Laura and all the nice things we do with her.
Tim: Okay Joey...
(Repeat similar to above)
Tim: Okay, Ryan, Say "God, thank you for a fun day."
Ryan: You're welcome.

Hmm... we might need to work on that.

Hey Mandie! Does your husband still play organ for the Penguins? My youngest sister, Emily, got her boyfriend, Mike, tickets for the game on January 3rd, at 1:00. Hope you had a great Christmas!

Mandie said...

KAG - yes, he does still play for the organ for the Pens. He'll be there!

Um, who are you? I can't figure it out from your message.

How adorable. Ryan is a very polite little boy.

Sorry! This is Kelly Gleason. My "little" sister Emily is taking her boyfriend. He is a big fan. When she mentioned they were going, I remembered you mentioning your husband has that job. I hope you have a great New Year!
