Also, that's amazing that your kids have an undying love for sushi! I love that! What a great way to expose your kids to things that are out of the comfort zone for many people-I didn't really have sushi until I went to college, and now I love it!AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232664651858738176.post-83607854555803830432015-10-08T14:04:28.437-05:002015-10-08T14:04:28.437-05:00I have found that kids will only do as well as the...I have found that kids will only do as well as they are expected, and they can only be as good as they are shown. <br />Even beyond prayer, I've found this to be true for everything from trying new foods (my kids now have an undying love for sushi) to learning how to listen to books (we've been reading longer chapter books with John now.) <br />If I say, and show, that something is good, they tend to believe me. My job is just to mean it.Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273803585943545418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232664651858738176.post-59030407995847678112015-10-08T13:35:23.465-05:002015-10-08T13:35:23.465-05:00Kirby, this is so cool!!!

I think it is such a cool testament, to the need for adults to pass on those rich traditions. There's a sad trend that I've found in some circles, where they believe that everything needs to be made "kid-friendly" by taking all manner of reverence, mystery, and silence out of the Liturgy or prayers and substituting in wild & weird things; but from my experience (and it sounds like, from yours, too), if kids are surrounded by adults and teens who have that faith and passion for prayer, they will rise to the occasion!
