FHE--Strike 2

Okay, since last week's family home evening went so well....Natalie is at it again. Tonight it was her turn to say the opening prayer. Here's the gist of how this one went. What Natalie said is in red and what I said to help her is in black.

Natalie: "Dear Heavenly Father, we're thankful for our blessings. (Then unintelligible stuff that included the word 'barbie' somewhere in there) (We're thankful for our family) Help us to get presents. (help us to be reverent) Help us to get presents. (Help us to be reverent) Help us to be reverent. (help us to listen) Help me to get presents. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."

Apparently, Natalie has one thing on her mind right now. Ask and ye shall receive, right?

Oh...you guys are going to have so much fun with her! I'm STILL trying to get Stevie to quit saying "I WANT that!" to every boy-ish toy he sees.

I think we all do that sometimes--focus on what we want instead of what we need. So what did you get her? :)

Thats funny. If we are lucky we will get Gracie to repeat prayers. Most of the time she ignores us and won't do it at all. FHE is about being together and showing the importance of studying the gospel, right? The details will work out. "A" for effort!
