Last night it was Phil's turn to say Family Prayer but I could tell he was tired. I asked him if he wanted me to say it. He merely nodded.
While praying I must have been extra grateful for all our blessing, and I must have asked for quite a few blessings for people in my ward who are sick, and for family members, and a friend who is in California and will be driving back to Utah alone, and other friends who I have been thinking of and loving. I must have prayed for a while. When I said "Amen." I looked up to see Phil crumpled against the wall.
"Are you all right?"
"I should have prayed," he said. "I could have been in bed and asleep by now."
LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI think your prayers must be extra effective! Did you shine your sink??
ReplyDeleteThe nerve of you being so grateful and asking to bless all those people.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were going to say Dad had fallen asleep during your marvelous prayer.
HAHAHAH. love. it.
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of him for not falling asleep. Sometimes I struggle with staying awake for my own prayers.
ReplyDeleteGreat Story!
ReplyDeletePersonally I think bed is a handy place to pray. Poor Phil.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI knew I would feel better if I just stopped by to see what you've been up to.
I can TOTALLY relate to this!! Heh, heh!
ReplyDeleteWhen I say the family prayers---I really get specific, so Aydan now says----"Not Mommy, not mommy"!!
He tries to talk my hubby into saying them all...
