Everynight before bed, my boys say their prayers. Its always interesting hearing prayers from a 6 and 4 year old. Tonight was no exception.
My 4/yo started to pray and said,
"Thank you Lord for this day, please protect us, and keep us safe from the bad people, and thank you for keeping us healthly, and protecting us, and taking us to our grandparents, and watching us, and..., and...., and..., and..., and...,and...," (lasted about 4 mins, seriously :-) )
During his prayer his older 6/yo brother chimes in..."He is praying tooo long, its my turn now.......HURRY, say Amen!"
4/yo says,"amen."
6/yo starts to pray, "Thank you Lord for this day, Amen!"
4/yo says,"Thats too short, mine was better cause it was longer." (Smiling grin)
When my boys are bickering about prayer in prayer, rather than hearing whining from them about who took what from whom or who hit and hurt whom.
It was a good day.
