Pray

Many times a day my Nanny prays.  She prays aloud.  She sets an example.
"Dear God, thank you for letting me see another day," she says.
And while I used to think it a little odd to repeat this over and over, now I find myself feeling blessed just to hear her say it one more time. 
Scripture says pray
There's something amazing about having faith.  It makes all things seem possible even when others say they are impossible.  And I'm so glad my children will know the power of believing and the peace of devotion.  Ours is a family raised in the pews - - and though we may stray from the church's physical vessel sometimes, the foundation is firmly built in our hearts and resonates through our spirits.
