Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Every night before bed we say prayers with all our girls.  We usually go in a circle and each person thanks God for something and says their prayer.  D usually thanks God for the day and prays for some school assignment or test.  E thanks God for the day and then usually prays for some relationship in her life.  I love seeing how each of the girls prays.  It gives an insight into their world that we don't usually get to see. 

Several weeks ago Zoe was the show-and-tell person at preschool.  She took her bear Coco.  Ever since that day, her prayer at night as been:

Thank you for Coco.  I love her so much and cuddle with her.  Amen.

It always brings a smile because she's so sincere in her prayer for Coco. 

Lately she's been going impromptu with her prayers.  If you want to see the heart of a preschooler, get them to pray.  Last night, this was her prayer:

Thank you God for D and E.  And D and E, I love them so much.  Thank you for my mommy, my daddy and my Zoe.  Amen.

Thank you indeed.
