Carson is reading on a high to beginning 4th grade level reading and high 1st grade math level.

 

Tonight before prayer, things were a bit heated in this house. Everyone was at each other and Carson started singing a Child's Prayer and it gave me an idea. I found the song on the computer and turned it on. It started out just Carson and I listening to it and then it turned into everyone sitting on our bed singing to it. We also listened to a few other primary and church songs.

I love how I can have a silent prayer in my heart on how to deal with a situation and one of the kids starts singing something or they say something that totally makes sense and puts me in my place. I need to listen to that prompting a bit more as well.

Words to a Child's Prayer:

 1. Heavenly Father, are you really there?
And do you hear and answer ev'ry child's prayer?
Some say that heaven is far away,
But I feel it close around me as I pray.
Heavenly Father, I remember now
Something that Jesus told disciples long ago:

"Suffer the children to come to me."
Father, in prayer I'm coming now to thee.

2. Pray, he is there;
Speak, he is list'ning.
You are his child;
His love now surrounds you.
He hears your prayer;
He loves the children.
Of such is the kingdom, the kingdom of heav'n.

 

Now I am headed to bed as it has been a very long and stressful day. Here is to hoping tomorrow turns out to be better and it starts off on the right foot.
