Prayer

In our house these days anytime we are about to have a prayer we have more then enough volunteers to say it. Between Mia and Maddi, Lance and I have to battle it out in order to get a turn. Today at lunch after we had a prayer first from Mia and THEN from Maddi, Mia asked me, "Mom when do you say the prayer?" I said, "Well I say it sometimes at dinner and at bedtime" and she said "Well me and Maddi and Daddy say it sometimes but when do you say it?" (I think she was worried that I hadn't gotten my turn) so I told her that I get to say the prayer at bedtime with Daddy and then in the mornings by myself and then I sometimes say prayers when I need help with something. Well then she wanted to know what kinds of things I need help with and so I told her "I need help to be a good Mom, and I need help with Young Womens, and I need help to be a good preschool teacher, etc etc." She was really interested to know what kinds of "problems" I might have in each of these categories. We talked for awhile about different things I can get help with from Heavenly Father and then she started telling me about her primary class and how she can get help in primary and at the end of the conversation she said, "Mom I think you and me have problems!" I had to laugh but I told her, "You know...you might be right. :)"
