You know you are a tired Daddy...

when you start to say your table prayer as you lay your daughter down for bedtime:) 

"In Jesus' name to the table we go, 
God bless the food we receive.  
To God the glory and us the gain, 
so we have food in Jesus' name."

As Jason was leaning down into Freya's bed to tuck her in tonight, he began this prayer and then, when he realized that we were not, in fact, sitting down to eat, just burst out laughing.  Yes, we are tired, and feeble minded at (many)times, but God is gracious in these moments...and laughter is a sweet gift for tired souls:)

So sweet! Juniper regularly prays the snacktime prayer from Ane's school at bedtime. Any talking to Jesus means God gets the glory and we the gain. Love you guys!!

I love that picture! Little August's wrinkled forehead is so sweet as he is taking in his loved one's faces. I remember that feeling of fatigue. Love you all. Mom
