From that point forward, our daughter was actively engaged and the attitude was gone. My heart melted for a moment and then we continued our prayer and then read some of the devotional book together. It was our daughter, freely accepting the invitation to join us in worship. While Sarah and I were praying, something beautiful happened….with our eyes closed, we suddenly felt a small hand join in on top of ours. Our daughter was in next room, free to do as she pleased. So my wife and gathered at the table, held hands, and started praying. I invited her to the table with us, knowing that she could freely opt out without any hard feelings. Instead, I chose the option of invitation.

I decided that I did not want to force or demand participation in something so special as a time of worship.

I knew that I had two primary ways of responding: be a dictator and insist that our daughter cheer up and join us in this spiritual moment OR give her the freedom to choose whether or not to join us parents in a devotional reading and prayer. She started to cop an attitude and resisted the idea of reading a Bible story together and praying together. For some reason (maybe because she had just woken up and because of the magical snow outside), she was not in the mood to have a family devotional time together. It was looking like an idyllic family devotional time until we told our daughter about the idea. Sarah, my wife, thought it would be nice to read a chapter from that book and then say a prayer together. Since our daughter is six, we have the Jesus Storybook Bible, a summarized version of the Bible that tells the major stories on a level that children can easily understand. When my wife, daughter, and I made our way downstairs to make some breakfast together, my wife suggested that we have a family devotional time. This past Sunday was a snow day in our part of the country.
