Micah was trying to teach Scout how to not just say the same things in each prayer, but to really think about what he is thankful for and what blessings he needs.  I happened to be gone at Relief Society helping my mom teach bow making when this happened, and Micah reported that he said the sweetest prayer to date.

It went something like this:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please bless Mommy to have fun teaching people how to make bows.  Please bless Nonnie to be healthy.  Please bless Bree to have a baby. Please bless Bella to get married.  Please bless all of the boys and girls who don’t have books, that I could share mine with them.

In the name of Jesus Christ….Amen.

Micah said that he really thought about his prayer, and instead of just saying the same old things pretty fast, he was trying to say the things he really meant.  Too cute.  Especially since my first written down prayer was…

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please help me not to kick Linda.  Please help Ryan not to be stupid.

In the name of Jesus Christ….Amen.
