"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth."
While I know Landry does not have a true understanding yet of what it means to follow Christ, it is amazing to see her responding to the things we are teaching her about Christ. The Bible teaches that we should train our children in the way they should go. We are not guaranteed they will make all the right decisions their entire life, but they will know that Christ loves them and died for them. And as long as we are walking with Christ, our children will have an example to follow.
Some ways Cory and I are trying to train Landry are: doing daily devotions with her, praying several times a day with her, telling her what things are pleasing and displeasing to God, allowing her to see us read our Bibles, singing praise songs with her, apologizing when we have screwed up and done something displeasing to God.
When Cory and I pray with Landry, we pray aloud and we have Landry repeat after us. Imagine my excitement when I walked into Landry's room a couple of days ago and saw her praying by herself. She said "Thank you for GiGi, PawPaw, Nana and Poppy." It was definitely one of my proudest moments, evidence that God is working on her little heart and turning it towards Him! Thank you Jesus!
Here is Landry praying. I know she looks mad, but that's just her prayer face. She's always so serious when someone is praying.

I love her prayer face! That is awesome!!
Daniel wanted to pray in the dark tonight. When we asked him why he said; "I don't wanna look at all the stuff." Maybe he finds it all distracting? I.D.K. but I love it that he wants to pray, other than meals :)
