Evan's Prayer

During family devotions after dinner tonight, we were discussing Colossians 3:8-10. We talked about how when we spend time with Jesus, we start acting more like Jesus. Evan volunteered to close us in prayer. He prayed, "Dear God, Please help us to act like Jesus, to fight nicely with other people..." I was trying so hard not to laugh that I didn't catch the last sentence.

Encouragement

Elbert was playing monkey in the middle with Andrew and Nathan after dinner. Evan was watching. He was encouraging his brother and Dad by saying, "Good job!" when they caught the ball. I complimented Evan on his encouraging words.

Elbert told the boys they should encourage me, too. Andrew said, "Good job washing dishes, Mom. You're the best!" Thanks, Andrew.
