Power of Prayer

Jim and I were both raised to eat dinner as a family and to say grace as part of the dinner. As we became a couple and started living together we instituted the same traditions. We sit down together to eat and we say grace. Its just a simple grace that I grew up with. As our family grew- first with Katie then with Sarah we continued it. I think it is now become my favorite part of dinner. Katie has on occasion when we have been out to dinner made us stop and say grace and has also made us say it several times at home till she is satisfied that it was said right by everyone and that everyone had their hands folded correctly (in her mind). Now as Sarah has moved from the high chair to a booster seat, the tradition continues with Katie helping to say the grace and Sarah clapping her hands together in glee. It honestly does not get much better then that.
