Singing in the dark
We started a fun traditon not long ago. When I give the kids their bedtime hugs and kisses I also spend time and pray with them. One time my oldest daughter mentioned that she would like to sing prayers better. (she is my dramatic, whimsical girl). So we have started singing a song of prayer to God as well as our spoken prayer. Usaully we sing songs that were already written such as "I Love you Lord", "Thank You Lord" and "God is so good" but sometimes we sing songs that just say what we are thinking or songs like "God is so Happy" (my 3 year olds creation.) When we sing we have the lights out, there is something about singing in the dark that I love, it allows you to really focus on Who you are singing to.
