Thanks

Every night my boys say their prayers.

They are simple little prayers.  They aren't stopping famine, or bombers, or terror.   It's really more along the lines of daily thanks.  But it's daily communication with God...and I love to hear it.

Noah:  "Thank you Lord for this day, and for letting me live on the earth, and for everything good, Amen."

Ben:  "Thank you Lord for healing me."

Jake:  "Thank you Lord for this day and for the food, Amen."

Sam:  "Thank you Lord for this day, and my mom and dad and for everything and for everything and for everything and for everything and for everything and for everything."

So, these prayers are B.A.S.I.C.  Just a thank you note every evening.

Guess that's what great prayers begin and end with, thanks.

Maybe they're growing to be great prayer warriors after all?

At least they know who to attribute all the good things in their lives to!  And if Josh and I love hearing them so much, can you just imagine how sweet it is to God?

This is my prayer tonight:

"Thank you Lord for this day, that my boys are all healthy...that we have plenty of food in our cabinets and that you are providing for us, just like you said you would.  (Phil 4:19)  Help us to become who you desire us to be...to be your love in this world.  And thank you for those who read my blog.  It means more to me than I can say and I'm grateful."
