We prayed over our dinner no less than ten times this evening. Every time we would conclude one prayer and pick up our forks to take a bite, Katelyn would fold her arms again waiting for someone to pray.
I really didn't think my cooking was so frightening as to need to be blessed so many times.
When you are trying to teach a toddler that we fold our arms, bow our heads, and pray before each meal, how can you resist those chubby little arms crossed over that pudgy little belly?
We took turns praying over our meal and our gratitude. It is funny to hear the things you start to pray about after the third or fourth prayer. We were thankful for rain, dogs, potatoes, corn, green beans, and church to name a few. We were grateful that Katelyn went to the bathroom so many times today. We asked for blessings that we would all feel better and that we would be nice.
The meal took twice as long with all of the religious interruptions but I absolutely loved it.
Lol that is so cute! You should've recorded it (bc by the fourth prayer that's not sacrilegious, right?
