Don't Ever Forget to Pray


A few of you have asked about President Hinckley's Don't Ever Forget to Pray. Elizabeth Ricks wrote the music and it first appeared in Friend, Apr 2006, 11. The Friend is a magazine that our church offers to children.
Elizabeth Ricks was in a meeting when President Hinckley was asked what he would most wish that the leaders of the church could teach our children. He responded:
Don’t ever forget to pray.
Don’t ever forget to pray.
Kneel down ev’ry night and morning.
Don’t ever forget, don’t ever forget, don’t ever forget to pray.
I get choked up every time I read or hear these words. I don't think I could teach my kids anything more valuable than to converse with the Lord every night and morning.

Those are some really cute boys you've got there. I really enjoyed listening to them sing. They have such great voices!! It looks like Charlie wants to join in the fun too! :)

P.S. I finally got my act together and found this song on the internet. I started singing it to the boys tonight. I told them we are going to sing it every night before bed. When I told Nathan what the song is about, he said "I didn't know prayer was that important." OK, I'm not doing my job right. Better late than never though..right?
