The "Faith" of a Child

This morning I put Allie in her highchair for breakfast and sat down next to her. I was about to start eating and Allie started making motions with her hand. I watched her, trying to figure out what it was she wanted since her "sign vocabulary" is expanding. I watched as she cupped her hands together. "Oh! Yes, I forgot to pray for our breakfast. Do you want to pray?" She nodded her head, "yes". That's what she was trying to tell me. We had forgotten to pray for our breakfast. How humbling to have a tiny child remind me to pray for my food when I'm supposed to be teaching her.
