Every night can get interesting putting McKenna Grace to bed... she is a little comic & at bedtime is her favorite "chatty" time. Last night as I was putting McKenna to bed, she was in yet another silly mood and I had just finished reading her a story and I began to pray with her when she said that she wanted to pray. This isn't a new thing - she has been praying for meals and at bedtime but last night she started using silly words that sounded like made up "gibberish" as part of her prayer, associated with outbursts of laughter... I stopped her and calmly said, "Sweetie, when we talk to Jesus it isn't a time for you to be silly & use funny words."To which she replied, "But Mommy, Jesus made me funny!"
I almost burst out in laughter, although, we did continue our talk about her "comedy" coming across disrespectful at times...
But it was so precious to me because we tell her all the time that she was 'fearfully & wonderfully made' - Psalm 139:14. I have that verse painted on her wall.
It was just a reminder to me to have that "faith like a child" and to know that we are all uniquely designed by our Creator!

i LOVE when harper prays. it's so adorable. we say the same prayer everynight, but when it's his turn, he always says part of it, then "what else, momma?", so i whisper the next part, he says it, then "what else, momma?". so cute.
Too cute!!!
That is such a great kid story!!!! I'm sure they provide neverending entertainment!
So sweet McKenna! Great reminder for all of us. We get frustrated with Deacon when he does that before bedtime, so how precious that she can actually articulate what she's thinking. Love it!!
So funny!!! I love stories like that, she is such the cutie!! :)
that made my day, I love the funny things kids say. It sure makes us realize how precious times are with the little ones.
