Phoenix and Sicily don't always get along with each other, but every now and then something happens to remind me that they really do love one another.
Sicily was going to a friends house to be babysat while we took the other kids to the movies. The night before Phoenix was just overwhelmed by this and so concerned for her. So this was his prayer: "Please bless Sicily that she will have fun at Bailey's. That she'll get to play with Baby Dolls and go in Bailey's room. Bless that Parker will be nice to her...." (he is always nice by the way), just things Phoenix was concerned about. And how thoughtful to remember to put in a bonus wish for her favorite toys for her.
That same night as Sicily said her prayers, "Please bless Phoenix not cry, and his tummy not hurt." He had had a few time-outs that day and the fake tummy aches tend to follow.
We have had a child lock on the inside of Sicily's door for the longest time. But we just took it off, much to her delight. Though now she is, once again, coming out many times to go "potty." Jared threatened to put it back on her door and when she prayed that night, "Please bless me stay in my bed so Daddy no lock door." :) It's hard not to smile when they say stuff like that.
I'm sure glad Heavenly Father understands and listens to all of our concerns. Even children get worried sometimes and need the comfort of prayer.
