Bear's Blessings

Tristan has now gotten to the point where he blesses our/his food before we eat.

It sounds something like this..

"Jesus, thank you (for) food. Bless it, mershing (nourishing), Amen".

I have been VERY UNSUCCESSFUL uploading videos to blogger but they upload to facebook just fine. So here is the link to my facebook page to view him in action.

If you are not a "friend or network" it is set to private so just request my friendship :).

We have also been teaching him scripture. He has learned "I am a Mighty Man of GOD" and right now he is working on "I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me". He is doing great. We want him to have the word of GOD tucked deep in his heart.

It has already been a blessing to hear him when he is in his room going to sleep singing Jesus LOVES Me. He will also say a prayer as he is in bed. I will hear him through the door, "Jesus, thank you food. Bless it, mershing. Amen".

It makes my heart happy that he knows to pray and he gets the idea of it. But as of now that is the consistent prayer that he knows. We pray throughout the day but they are all "new" prayers and from the heart... not consistent wordage. But he gets that we pray throughout the day. Even when we are driving down the road (when I do a lot of my praying) he will pray his food blessing from his car seat.

Oh LORD help us to raise a fisher of men. A man on fire for you that will keep YOUR WORD burning in his heart for all the days to come. When trials come he will KNOW that you will bring him through. YOU will sustain him. JUST as you have sustained us in this family through it all! -AMEN
