Tonight Luke learned a little bit about bedtime prayers from Mom. We practiced kneeling beside the bed and making "prayer hands." Then we talked a bit about what to say when praying. Mom explained to Luke that he should be thankful for the good things that happened that day. Here's the conversation that followed...
Mom: "Luke, what was the favorite part of your day that you'd like to say thanks for?"
Luke: "Hmmmm, I liked those monster trucks at the park. They zoomed around and had big tires and that man made them drive fast! And me and Thomas we ran after them and it was fun!"
By this point, Mom realized she left that question very open to interpretation so really any answer should be fair game. Side note: Luke didn't go to a monster truck rally ... some guy had a remote control truck at the park today.
Mom: "Okay, Luke that sounds like a great thing to pray about. So let's start...
Lord, thank you for the monster trucks at the park today and all my family and friends. Amen."
Luke repeated it and off to bed he went.
So before you go to bed tonight, say a prayer for all the little things in life that make you happy ... even remote-control monster trucks!
