Bedtime Prayers

Every night before bed we all pray together. Here is a transcript of some of our recent prayers.

ALL: "Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Angels watch me through the night. Until I wake in morning light."

MOMMY: "Stellan, who would you like to pray for?"

STELLAN: "I want to pray for Nana and Deda."

MOMMY: "OK"

STELLAN: "I pray for Nana and Deda and Uncle Erik and Auntie Stephie and Caleb and Noah and Manny (Glenn and Erika's dog) and Uncle Glenn and Auntie Erika. And the beautiful day. And the beautiful flowers. And the beautiful tractors. And the beautiful fields for the tractors. And the beautiful tracks. And the beautiful trains on the tracks. And the beautiful roads. And the beautiful cars on the roads. And for beautiful blankets to keep me warm. And beautiful beds to sleep in. And for all the beautiful people. Amen."

How precious is that? I want to tape it one day...can't wait to listen to it when I'm old and grey.
