Popcorn Prayers

Here's another way of praying together with your family. I'm a little hesitant to call this prayer the popcorn prayer, because a good friend told me that after introducing the sandwich prayer to her son, every night he thanks God for meat!
Here's how the popcorn prayer works: someone is designated as a starter and someone else as an "amen"-er. Anything that happens in between is up to you, the kids and how God leads you. There can be thanks and praise and requests all mixed together. Just one short little prayer at a time - just one sentence. The reason it's called a popcorn prayer is because when corn is popping in a pan, you never know which kernel will be the one to go next - and you'll never know who be next when you pray like this. One person might even go two or three times in a row. Happy praying! (Amanda might have to have a little bedtime snack of popcorn before using this one with Grant!)
