Stockton's First Prayer

I'm sure most of you teach your kids to pray before they turn three, but Stockton said his very first prayer last night. It was the sweetest thing ever! With all the things going on in Stockton's life, praying hasn't been something I've pushed. Last night, I decided to give it a try, expecting to talk him through every word. I told Stockton to fold his arms so that we could say his prayers, and he immediately began saying, "Heavenly Father, thank you for day, thank you for food . . ." He then looked at me and I helped him with the rest of his prayer. I was so touched! I praised him and he laughed, and then he went on to repeat his prayer again. I am embarrassed to admit it, but I had know idea he had learned to pray. I feel so grateful for his primary/nursery leaders, who obviously taught him what I should have tried to teach earlier.
