Pwaay

Zenobia has known since she was 16 months old that we pray before every meal. At that time, if we forgot she would remind us by saying "pway" and folding her hands in front of her and bowing her head. She has become quite the little prayer as of recent. The other night as she led Eugene and I to her bedroom to go to sleep, she knelt down by her bed, folded her hands and said "pway, Momma, Dada," and pointing for us to kneel with her. Eugene said, "You want to pray?" And off she went, "Dear Jesus, thank you for this day, love you, ahmen." (Not so clear but we knew what she was saying!) Zenobia still reminds us to pray before meals but now, she insists we all hold hands since that is what we do when we are at Mimi's and Papa's. She holds her little hands out to us so we all connect. Zo is really respectful at prayer time and is even starting to close her eyes more instead of staring at everyone. This is really helpful at my small group when she won't stay in the nursery. At least she already knows to be reverent in prayer!
