It was a long day, brother was cranky, daddy tired and I was moody. When it was time to lay brother down, Noah jumped at the opportunity to pray for brother. Its always hit or miss if he is going to be willing or we need to coach him through to pray for brother at bed time. Perhaps he sensed the disconnect that we all had because of the day we had.
Go ahead son, and he prayed...
"Thank you God, for mommy, lil grandma, thank you God for brother that he has a good night sleep, we just thank you God for our family. Thank you for clothes, for my room, for uncles and aunties, thank you God. Thank you for mommy, and daddy, brother and Noah. We just thank you God for everything God."
As daddy and I opened our eyes with tears down our face we thanked God that He gave us this lil man. He prayed one of the most powerful prayers I had heard, and needed at that moment. So simple yet so powerful and a reminder of thankfulness despite a bad day and bad attitude!

I love listening to my son pray from the heart like that. Isn't it amazing how they can get right to what matters - yay for moments like that when you need them most :).
ReplyDeleteWhere are my tissues? That was the most wonderful, heartfelt prayer imaginable. Awesome job, Noah, you gave us grown ups a lesson in how to craft a perfect prayer :)
