Sweet Prayers

After talking many times about how we need more of an attitude of gratitude in our prayers, Christian has taken it to heart more than I could imagine. Now all he prays for is what he is grateful for and why. It is really quite cute, so I thought I would write down a few of his favorites.
  • I am thankful for the rocks, so the earth isn't a lot of mud.
  • I am thankful for the grass, so the earth isn't ugly.
  • I am thankful for the water, so we can live.
  • I am thankful for the animals, so we can have help. (I am thinking horses, dogs, etc,..)
  • I am thankful for the air, so that we can breath.
  • I am thankful for the gravity, so that we are not floating all over the place and can walk around.
  • I am thankful for my family, so that we can be together.
  • I am thankful for food, so that we don't die.

I am thankful for his attitude of gratitude. We love him!

That is so cute. Glad you
thought to write about it.
Kids are the best lesson in
humility we could ask for.
Hope you have a Happy New Year!

Hilarious. I'm also thankful that we don't float all over the place, but I've never thought to pray about it!

Hey Cherylann! I just figured out it was you on Doris's blog! You look great! and your kids are so cute! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the look of your blog. I wish there was some way I could incorporate my sister-in-laws header she made us, with a design like yours. It's fun to see your family! So beautiful!
