Prayer

On Mother's Day, I(Jolene), drove my daughter Alison back to school in Milwaukee and my mom and sister drove along. We stopped at a very crowded Cheesecake Factory for dinner. We ordered and when the food came we joined hands for a brief prayer, and then enjoyed our dinner. After dessert, I asked for the bill, and the waitress informed us that someone had paid for our entire meal!

After some discussion and hypothesizing we think someone may have paid for us because we prayed together! Prayer is a powerful thing on its own, but can be just as powerful to witness.

Is prayer a part of your marriage? Do your children, family or others witness you praying? What can you do to make prayer more a part of your relationship?
