James' Prayer

We have a routine every night with the boys. They put on PJs, brush their teeth, go potty, and then each of them gets to pick a book. After reading, we ask James what he's thankful for and then we pray over them. Last night, was Ben's bed night, and James told him at dinner that he was going to say the prayer before bed. He usually prayers before dinner, but it's a memorized prayer so he doesn't think much of it. At dinner, he said that he was going to try real hard and do his best and say a prayer. Ben said James even went through the routine of asking Ben and Cameron what they were thankful for before he prayed. Ben said he did a good job.

This was his prayer tonight (night 2 of praying for the family):

Dear God,
We thank you for this day and we love you. We love you because of the toys and the food you give us to eat and to play with. We thank you for the refrigerators that we can keep our food in and we thank you for the stores that we can go to when we run out of food so we won't be hungry. We thank you for the builders who make our houses so we don't have to be out in the rain or cold so we don't catch a cold. We thank you for our pajamas that we have to sleep in.
Amen.
