My three-year-old son struggles to pray with us in the evening when we try to pray together. We say short prayers, but I feel like I am forcing him if I insist too much. How do you handle this with your children so that it comes naturally to them without causing them distress? Tonight, I tried to get him to say "Our Father" before bed, but he started laughing and playing with his bear. I wonder if it is better to give him a little more space or to keep to our nightly routine.

Yesterday after my shift, I went to the church and lit a candle for the repose of Sergiy — we used to play football in the yard when we were kids, and then we learned to play guitar together. Friendship is when you remember a person even after years and realize that he is still a part of your life. I lit the candle and thought how good it is that we were truly friends back then.

I woke up this morning and saw that the refrigerator is almost empty after the post. It's tough to keep the post duties, especially when the colleagues order meat from the canteen. What will I eat for lunch during the post days, something simple that can be made quickly in the evening? Usually I stick with rice and vegetables, but I'm getting a bit tired of it.
