The Carter Girls are Funny!

Good Morning! I have a good one for you....

We have started a Thursday night family devotional and prayer time. Courtney asked this week for her feet and legs get better. Courtney is our five year old with Cerebral Palsy, she so desires to wear flip flops. So, we added that to the request and then I mentioned she could pray that on her own at night if she wanted to before she went to bed. She said, "I didn't know I could do that. I will tonight." So, she prayed moving her lips and no sound coming out of her mouth, on her knees, in the floor, beside her bed. It was soooo cute.

The next morning Kelli asked her, "Have you prayed this morning for your feet and legs?" Courtney politely told Kelli that it wasn't dark outside and praying was like wishing upon on a star and there are no stars out in the day time. Kelli sweetly told Courtney that she could pray anytime. Courtney replied, " I didn't know that, Kelli.".

Kelli waited a few moments and asked, "So are you going to pray?". Courtney replied, "I'm gonna pray that you leave me alone!"

Kelli was shocked and came and ran and told me the whole thing and I laughed! It is never a dull moment at the Carter house.
