PRAYER ROCK

Activity of the day
I was trying to think of something for the kids to do while I weeded the garden so I had them pick up rocks and put them in buckets. I then felt bad because I was giving them busy work just to protect my little sprouts from being stomped on...further stomped on. So I had this idea....
I'm your little prayer rock
and this is what I'll do...
Just put me on your pillow
until the day is through
Then turn back all the covers
and climb into your bed
WHACK! your little prayer rock
will hit you in the head
Then you will remember
as the day is through
To kneel and say your prayers
as you wanted to
And then when you are finished
just dump me on the floor
I'll stay throughout the night
to give you help once more
When you get up in the morning
CLUNK! I'll stub your toe
So you'll remember to say your
morning prayers before you go
Put me back upon your pillow
once your bed is made
And your clever little prayer rock
will continue in your aid
Because your heavenly Father
cares and loves you so
He wants you to remember
to talk to Him, you know?

ReplyDeleteWe didn't pick ducks, my mom did for me. She really wanted us to have ducklings.
But they are really fun. They are really loyal and follow you around all of the time. And they eat all of our slugs and bugs in the garden. And they let you pick them up. They are pretty funny, good easy pet actually!
That's really cute. We used to collect rocks and shells and paint them to look like animals - like a lion's head or a seal. I actually have really good memories of doing that during easter holidays at my aunts house... :)
