3 Year Old Prayer Time!

In the last week or so, Maclain has been turning into a big boy with his prayer time! He wants to pray like Daddy, and actually does a pretty good job at it! If he's eating a meal by himself for any reason, you'll even catch him bowing his head and saying his blessing without any prompting before the first bite! BUT... up until this point, prayer time was a little... hmmm... entertaining should I say?! It's definitely been a learning process so far for our little man!

Before I head to the funny part of all of this, I must add, at preschool everyday they say the traditional "God is great, God is good,... " prayer before they eat lunch!

Until this past week, for about a month or so ALL prayers went a little like this:

• "God is great, God is good. Let us thank him for our Spaghetti. By his hands we all are fed. Thank you lord for daily bread. Amen"
• "God is great, God is good. Let us thank him for our Bed. By his hands we all are fed. Thank you lord for daily bread. Amen" (said at bedtime obviously)

So, as you can see... that is not only a traditional mealtime prayer, but it can be a very universal prayer to be used for ANY occasion! :) We are happy to see him finally branching out this week though! :)

At least he's praying! :) Unfortunately, that's more than some of us can say on certain days!!
