day twelve: praying BIG is praying the Lord's prayer.

A lot of times I think too much about things.  I was an English major and so I was taught how to read into ev.ery.thing.  But then sometimes things really do make sense in the most simple way. 

For example: the Lord's prayer.  The last couple days as I've prayed about what to write it keeps coming back to mind.  And tonight it hit me--praying the Lord's prayer is praying BIG JUST BECAUSE JESUS TOLD US TO.  I can't wait to give my kids that excuse as they get older. "But why, mommy?"  "Just because I said so." It's like the trump card of all trump cards. 

But really, the Lord's prayer is how Jesus taught His disciples to pray and He never did anything small--so praying the Lord's prayer is how I'm praying BIG tonight.  Whether you're a debts/debtors person or trespasses/tresspassers type :), join along with me in praying BIG the words He taught us to pray:
