About 6 months ago Jason and I joined our church, New Hope. We have become pretty involved and love it there. It's down the street from the house and a lot of my students attend. Jason works with the youth group and I have women Bible studies during the week. Now, since attending New Hope and becoming a true Christian family, prayer has become very important to us. We pray in the mornings before work, at meals and when we are about to go to bed.
Little Jason sees more of the praying at meals and we didn't think he quite understood what was happening. Jason and I would try to hold his hands, just to see what he would do, and he wouldn't do it. Well....today when we went to dinner, we were just about to pray and I had my hand out (lately I just hold it out because Little Jason sits between us) and lo and behold, he grabbed my hand and then grabbed Jason's hand. I looked up and he was just grinning from ear to ear! I started laughing and then said, "Well, I guess he's ready to eat Daddy, so you better pray!" We said our prayer and he held our hands the whole time. It was the cutest and the most innocent thing I had ever seen. I am glad that even at age of 22 months, he is starting to see the importance of God, even if his first revelation was at a Mom and Pop BBQ restaurant!
