Praying

we had a habit of praying together everynight. We would pray as a family and then he and I would pray as a couple. The couples prayer started when we first got married. We prayed at night so that we could always sleep in peace with each other. Some nights were harder than others. It was  hard to pray when we were upset. What was even harder was that we would pray in bed after the lights were turned off.

He has always taken his time with his night time routine, brushing teeth, washing face, setting out his uniform for the next day. I would lie in bed and read which has always made me tired. By the time he would come to bed I was about 3 seconds away from sleep.

It was my turn to pray I started and then while I was thinking about what to say next , I was in deep meditation… really really deep meditation. Then he  nudged me. Apparently I had fallen asleep and had started snoring. I started again and tried this time I was slurring my words. Ok… one last time, in the middle of my word I was out.  He decided to let me sleep since I looked so peaceful.
