Faith

When I came home from work last Thursday night, my daughter was already in bed sleeping. Her cry woke me up at around four in the morning, she was hyperventilating and I couldn't understand what she was saying. So I told her to calm down, i rubbed her back and she eventually stopped crying. That's when I asked her again what's wrong. She told me that she woke up crying because she wanted to say the Lord's Prayer. My husband usually read her a book at bedtime and I lead her to pray after. But since I came home at ten o'clock that night, she wasn't able to say the prayer. I was so happy that at early age, she is already forming her faith..

  3. I am touched by this post. Your children are lucky to have parents like you.Good job na sinanay niyo habang bata pa.
    Me and my family usually pray before going to bed too. holding our hands together, while we say the prayer.Hubby used to read a thin children bible to our son. sinanay namin yong anak namin so that he grow up with faith. He now even know how to do a sign of a cross before and after praying.
    yong babing baby pa siya and until now, we trained him to listen praise song (with children's choir) everytime na nasa bed na kami,until we all can sleep.
    kaya until now, as long as nasa be siya, he wants us to play the praise song at once.

    Good job Rose, I am happy for those parents who teaches children to have faith.
    kasi kung di dahil ni god, wala rin tayo.
