At bedtime, Autumn and I read, sing, and say our night night prayers. She would always just repeat me. But now that she's in her big girl bed, she gets on her knees by her bed, get's in prayer mode, says "Jesus" then looks to me for guidance. She's so funny!
Well, this past weekend she did her prayers all by herself. They were so simple and sweet. It truly melted my heart.
But last night's prayers were just so precious. Let me tell you a little bit of information so that it all ties together. On Monday, Autumn and I went to visit my nana at Adam's Place. She is there because she had knee surgery and has to have rehab. Anyways, on our way there, I told Autumn that we were going to see Nana. She said, "No Nanny, Papaw. Mommy home." She thought she was going to her Nanny's. But she just wanted to stay with Mommy because I was home.
So I explained to her that we were going to go see "Mommy's Nana." She of course just said, "Oh!" It's like she's saying, "Oh, well that makes sense."
Anways, we go see my nana and Autumn sees that her knee is bruised and bandaged. Autumn gets this very concerned look on her face. But doesn't say much.
So last night as we were saying our "night night" prayers. She says, "Jesus, you (meaning thank you) for Daddy, Momma, T (Kristi), Pa, Me (Grammy), Nana Momma boo boo on knee...ouch, Papaw, Nanny, Papa, Auboll (Autumn) and Ba (Bama)...Amen." But for her to remember my nana's knee a day later and to give that prayer to God just made me realize how lucky I am to have this little girl in my life.
I look forward to what and who she is going to pray for tonight.
