We were sitting at the table getting ready for dinner last night. Jace was screaming his head off. He was not happy, he was hungry, and he did not want to wait for the rest of us to bless the food.
I asked Alayna if she would say the prayer. We all bowed our heads amidst the screams of the one year old. Alayna started praying and Jace kept up his vocal rampage. After a few sentences into the prayer, Alayna then asked, "Please bless Jace that he will stop crying right now!"
Just after she said that, Jace stopped crying. He didn't make a noise throughout the rest of the prayer.
When Alayna said, "Amen", she dug into her food as if nothing was interesting about the experience. The rest of us just stared at each other, then at Jace, and then laughed in amazement. To Alayna, her prayer was answered and she expected nothing less - she was not amazed or surprised at the sudden change in attitude as the rest of us were.
