A child's prayer

Gabrielle participated more than usual in this morning's prayer; in fact, she reminded me to do it. I often forget prayer at breakfast because of the way I fix the meal in stages. Here's the prayer; my words are in blue, Gabrielle's in red.

"Lord, thank you so much for this day, and for our many blessings, including this meal and our health. And help us-"

"And our meals and our bodies."

"Yes, Lord, thank you. And help us to live our day in a way that makes you happy. Help us be kind-"

"And help us walk in the rain."

"Yes, and help us be kind to each other and to be patient-"

"And help Andrew not play with my Leapster."

"Yes, Lord, and if he does play with Gabrielle's Leapster, help Gabrielle to be kind about it and to forgive him. In Jesus' name, amen."

"Amen."
