Sep. 25, 2007 - Kade's Prayer

I have to write this one down before i forget.........

Three-year-old Kade prayed for our lunch today.  This is what he said:

.

"Thank you God for the food.

Thank you for my dad and mom.

Thank you for Cale hitting me and saying he is sorry.

Thank you for Skittles on Sundays.

Amen."

.

Talk about praying for your enemies or heaping burning coals or maybe he was just telling on his brother via a prayer, but i'm not sure he is thinking on that level yet.  As far as Skittles goes, i dole out Skittles on Sunday afternoons in proportion to the points they've accumulated during the week for chores and behaviour.

The prayers of three-year are so sweet and heartfelt. They also get to the point. :)

I was noticing your menu on the side and am curious to know what Chili Frito Pie is. Maybe you could add a recipe now and again.

I'm looking forward to seeing your new blog design. We are on vacation now and the laptop I am on (catching up) only has a plain background, etc. -- Amy
