A Child's Prayer

Emerson has been doing most of the prayers in our house lately. He really likes to say them and it has proved to be the most effective way to get him to sit still during prayers. He has gotten the hang of how prayers go and can start and finish a prayer and then we help out with the milddle bit. On Sunday we were getting ready to have some lunch. Emerson was sitting in his prayer waiting for us to come in. We were getting ready to step into the dining room and we hear "Heavenly Father, thank thee..." We both paused to see if he would say anything else. Emerson then continued his prayer with thanks for the day and for church and for juice and milk. You could tell that he was very grateful for juice and milk because he then reapeated it about three to five times. It was a very cute prayer and a sweet opportunity as his parents to hear him praying on his own.
