"Thank you for my Mommy. And for my blankie. And for putting all this stuff in my room. And for putting the sky up. I love my Mommy. I love my Daddy. And my Grandma. And students. And Tate. He is definitely on a trip. And Emma. And Dickens and Ruby."
Right or wrong, I felt the need to interrupt her prayer to remind her something was missing so I whispered "What about Jack?"
"I love him, I told you." Then continuing on she said "And I love downstairs. And upstairs. And my clothes..." I can't remember any of the rest. But it was filled with thankfulness and requests. It was long. So long that I actually said "Okay, wrap it up" at one point. Which shows how much I have to learn about prayer from my sweet little girl. She may be little, but these are some big prayers. She just pours out her heart while I listen and learn.
Maybe little people have the biggest prayers. Little people who know they have needs. Little people who see all of life as a wonder. I want to be little like that so that I too can pray big.

Oh, that is so sweet! I would like to take a minute to translate part of her prayer for you: "Dear God, Thank you for Mommy...she hangs the moon..." !)
"For putting the sky up" was my favorite. It IS pretty cool of Him to put the sky up for us everyday. :) Love you, Miss!
Wow. Just wow. "Little people who see all of life as a wonder. I want to be little like that so that I too can pray big." That is beautiful. Me, too. (Not I'm beautiful, but I want to be little too. :P)
I love listening to my little guys pray. It almost all prayers of thanksgiving. Us adults could learn from that. Our prayers are usually all about needs and wants. We should be reminded that we have much to be thankful for. :-)
