Sweetness

As we sat down to eat dinner last night, our daughter told us she wanted to pray. She often prays, but usually she says "Father thank you for this food, and thank you to take a BIG nap. Amen." There's no secret where she heard that prayer... But last night she said, "Father thank you for this food. Thank you for Mommy Daddy this great meal for us. And thank you for Jesus to pray. Amen." I think she was trying to say "thank you for the meal that Mommy made for us" (which Daddy usually says when he prays) and "in Jesus name we pray." My husband and I looked at each other in wonder, trying to figure out where the "nap" prayer went! But oh, how I loved her little prayer.

Thank you Lord for a child who prays even when the words aren't perfect. Give us a heart to pray no matter what, for our words are usually imperfect.
