A Child's Prayer


Last night for Family Home Evening, Brody said the opening prayer. In the past, he has gotten into the habit of "reciting" prayers. He would have a dinner prayer, a bedtime prayer, and a Family Home Evening prayer. We tried to teach him to think of new things every night to thank Heavenly Father for. Last night, he did great. I don't remember everything, but here is pretty much how it went:

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for our day. Bless that we can have Family Home Evening, thank you for our bodies and our home and our toys and our feet and our legs and our nipples (yes, you read that right) and our eyes and our mouths and our fans and our ladders and our chairs and our t.v. and our stars and our pictures and our walls and our knees and for everyone who can say prayers and our family. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

I think he covered about everything. I kept having to cover his eyes because he was just looking around the room naming everything he saw. Except nipples. He didn't see any of those. I have no idea where he came up with that one.

That is so funny! Are you sure there were no nipples showing...j/k
But at least there is hope about the prayer saying. Gabe does the same prayer for everything too, it's funny.
Thanks for sharing this awesome story Jess. Love ya.

Brody is funny. That sounds like the prayer of a 4-year old. He is so advanced for his age.

That picture of Brody is so adorable. He is so sweet and innocent. Thankful for nipples. I'm thankful for nipples, aren't you?

That's offensive.

Nipples should have been higher on the list than feet.

"exept nipples" ha ha--I laughed and laughed. That's totally what Lucas did too--looking around the room and saying what he saw (he still does this a lot)
Then when I read nicoles comment I laughed and laughed again. funny!
