Bedtime meditations

We sing our song { Jesus Savior } every night before bed. Big Sis knows it by heart.

Her tiny, sweet, girlish voice can often be heard singing it even throughout the day and it melts my heart. It is our family prayer taken from the words of Frances Ridley Havergal that speak to me each night as they flow off my lips:

Jesus, Savior, wash away
All that has been wrong today.
Help me every day to be
Good and gentle more like thee.

We have put these profound words to song as a way to ingrain them in our minds. We kiss Little Man and Big Sis goodnight. Their soft baby cheeks are smooth to the touch. And they drift off in slumber... well usually :).
