King was having a hard time going to sleep, complaining of 'scary thoughts'. Both boys were asking me to come sing them songs, I told them to sing themselves songs in their heads, as I was busy. (We often have conversations across the hall when I am in my room and they are laying in bed trying to go to sleep) King said it wouldn't work, it was too hard, his mind wasn't letting him. So I suggested they both sing out loud. I hear Odan start, "I Am a Child of God".
Some whisperings and a few minutes pass. Then Odan excitedly...
O: "Mom guess what? King doesn't have bad thoughts anymore! It's the end of his thinking! Hooray!"
I was chuckling to myself at Odan's phrasing when he added,
O: "Guess what helped it? Not the singing, only prayer!"
