Good Family Habits 1 - Praying Together

One of the joys of being a father, even after 25 years, is praying with my children. I still enjoy praying with them and they seem to still enjoy praying with me. On 2 occasions over the w\e we found ourselves praying together and they are very big now! I think this is because we have always prayed together, right from when they were little. So put the good habit into practise early on - pray with your children. Pray at meal times, pray at bed time, pray in the car, pray when something important or challenging happens at school...take every opportunity to pray with your children. I have also found it helpful to encourage "Thank you prayers" not just prayers for things we want - develop that attitude of gratitude early on. I am sure you will end up praying for the rabbit and the dog too!
