too old to pray


Since we have been in Utah, Zoe hasn't been very willing to say prayers... one day I asked her what the deal was and why she didn't like to pray anymore. Her response was, "I'm just too old for that now." She is more than willing to interrupt others and tell them what to pray for though. Nearly everytime I say our family prayer I hear, "Mom - Mom - you should bless for....." Even though Zoe is "too old" to pray, she apparently still has faith in and senses a need for priesthood blessings. A few weeks ago we were at the park and I had been taking some pictures of Zoe's darling cousin, Drew. Completely out of the blue Zoe said, "I think Drew needs a blessing." So, she proceeded to give him a blessing. I was sitting too far away to hear the words she said, and perhaps I should have been more reverent, but I was camera-ready and my first reaction was to snap a few pics. You can tell by the pictures that she was completely serious. It has been interesting the past few months to see Zoe's understanding and faith develop.
