What We Always Did

Blog #7

      “I thank you, God, for the great day we had today and ask that Mommy and I have a fun day tomorrow just like we always do,” my son said.

       My husband, my then five year-old son, and I were kneeling at my son’s bed in prayer one evening, like we always did, when he spoke these words.  No matter what we were doing at his bedtime, we all stopped to pray, like we always did. We took turns talking to God, like we always did.  I loved having our family time with God and the chance to make requests and express gratitude for every aspect of those wonderful days.

       I was a stay-at-home mom and I was thrilled that I was able to spend everyday with my son and enjoy the evenings as a family with a loving, supportive husband who made it financially possible. Everyday was an adventure and an exciting educational experience. It was FUN! 

       The words my son said have been tucked in my heart for over seventeen years now. I will never forget them. I remember fondly how much we loved: what we always did.
