Don't tell Anybody~ but I AM listening to you mom!!!

We don't always think our children are listening to us as we try to provide them with life lessons such as an appreciation of our spiritual gift of prayer.
Well today imagine this touching moment...

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn around...
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, touch the ground...
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, show your shoe...
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, go upstairs...
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say your prayers....

Immediately our friend, Eli started reciting the Shema
"Shema Israel, Adonai Elohanu, Adonai

Many times we don't think our children our listening to us, but this is just one example that they are. What a beautiful moment!!!

    This is such a sweet story. Thank you for sharing it. Sometimes you don't know your impact on a child until many years later. At least this time was more immediate.
