Dramatic Pause

I've been attempting to encourage the kids to be grateful and instead of just saying, "Jesus, help me to obey." to actually thank him for something... anything! So this morning I loved Jotham's prayer and the dramatic pause that was included.

"Father, thank you for my sisters. {Long Pause- probably coming from the surprise of thanking God for his sisters, which seemed unintentional.} Father, help me to be kind and love and protect my sisters. Amen."

Amen!
