1 Thessalonians 5:17 (look it up)

Avery learned the following prayer from her cousins "God our Father (repeat), Thank you for (repeat), For our many blessings (repeat), Amen (repeat)". The prayer is supposed to be sung and is appropriate before a meal. But try to explain that to a toddler! She prays all day long - while playing outside, driving in the car or taking a bath, basically anytime and anywhere! Yesterday she was riding her 4 wheeler on the driveway and stopped to take a moment to pray. She got off the 4 wheeler, folded her hands, half closed her eyes and intently said the prayer. The best one yet was this afternoon, when we were in the living room watching nothing else but Mickey Mouse. Avery sat down next to me, grabbed my hand, closed her eyes and prayed. Needless to say, she is teaching me a thing or two these days! This video caught her 4th or 5th rendition of the prayer while playing outside.
