Prayer

I remember mom listening to me say my prayers every night before I went to bed. We had family prayer and prayers on the food. Mom taught us to pray, but she also taught us by example. I remember walking into her bedroom in the morning and she would be kneeling down and I knew that I needed to wait for her to finish. I also remember when she would have a bad day, because we children were fighting, she would often go to her room to pray. I remember mom and dad saying prayers as a couple. They are still wonderful examples of prayer. Last year when mom was in the hospital I happened to be there one night before dad left, and he drove his jazzy over by the side of her bed so that they could pray together before he went home. There have been many days when I have followed your example of prayer when my children aren't getting along and I go to my bedroom to pray for peace and inspiration.
