Discipleship

I take a little bit different of an approach when it comes to discipleship with my children.
One way that I'm different than most parents is that I don't force them to pray at certain times, or certain ways, or even force them to participate in prayer if they don't want to...
I want my kids to have an authentic faith of their choosing, not just do things because that's what they were taught to do.
Having said that, Ethan has been praying on his own, and asking us to pray with him with out any prompting.
I have to say it's an amazing feeling to know that your child is acknowledging and reaching out to his creator on his own accord, in his own way, on his own time.
