Steps

One good thing in a list of a gazillion good things about homeschooling, is that your own siblings are your classmates and you get to review what you learned in the previous grades while you help them. (and if you happen to have more than one younger sibling... )
My youngest brother was learning the reasons why we pray. (He was trying very hard to memorize and it didn't help that I was eating lunch in front of him...)
It reminded me about something Mom taught my friends and I:

Steps of prayer
-Come to God with expectations
-Ask the Holy Spirit to come
-Ask for forgiveness
-Praise and thank Him
-Listen to God
-Supplications (ask for help)


For someone whose mind doesn't stay still for a minute, I've found it pretty helpful. :-)
