I have been teaching my son to pray but the prayers are more like a litany of thanks.
I’ve been teaching him to give thanks to the Lord for the food, the water, his milk, his vitamins, his medicine, his toys…
Sometimed I’d start off our prayer of thanksgiving and I’d encourage him to say the things he’s thankful for. Almost always, I am just surprised to what he comes up with.
…thank you for the TV… the aircon… thank you for Barney…
Sometimes it’s not even coherent to me.
…thank you for the switch.. the door…
But really, I’m thankful for having a thankful kid. Lately, he’s been in a habit of telling me ”thank you for us” whenever he’s happy. I am not even sure what he means by that. But I’m thankful for having a thankful kid.
