WHY WE PRAY . . . IN CASE YOU WEREN'T CERTAIN :)

Tonight I was saying prayers with Carly and Jono as I was putting them to bed when Carly asked why we always had to pray. I told her we pray everyday so we can stay close to our Heavenly Father--to which she quickly added "and to keep tomatoes away!" "What honey?" I asked. She looked at me quizzically. (I'm searching my brain because she likes tomatoes.) "What about tomatoes? What does Heavenly Father do with tomatoes?" "You know," she said, and makes a whirling motion with her hand, "he keeps those big winds away." "Oh Tornadoes! You mean he keeps us safe from Tornadoes?! Yes honey, he protects us. That's one of the things we pray for." From the mouths of babes . . . Lol!
