Morning Prayer

If you've seen any parenting magazines you've probably read about the decline of family meal time. We found with this school year that between work and homework, sports and music lessons, there just aren't that many nights we get to sit together as a family and have dinner. We miss our family time! So our family came up with a compromise. Our "family meal" is now breakfast. We are all in the house at that time and we all have to eat, so why not together. Eating together led to the great experience of praying together. It's amazing how different the start of your day becomes when prayer with your family is at the center. I challenge you to try it for a week. Skip hitting the snooze button one more time and have prayer with your family over oatmeal. I promise you won't regret adding it into your routine.
