Elizabeth – “Thank you God for stickers. Thank you God for this blanket. Thank you God for Dad and for Mom and for Brother. Thank you God for chicken. Thank you God for animals.” And that is only a fraction of her sweet prayers. This girl is very thankful and would go on for a long time if we didn’t help reign her in!
Ben – “Thank you God for making me. Please help all the people in Asia to know about you. God, please make it so I can start prayer tomorrow and the next day. Please help me to get new bed stuff. That’s all.” Ben’s prayers are always extremely thoughtful and often about helping others. And he usually can think of several things he is thankful for. He especially has a heart for those that don’t know about God yet and we are praying about different continents/countries each night and trying to learn more about them. This particular night he put a couple of his own agenda items on the list that he wanted taken care of. He and Elizabeth alternate who starts prayers each night. Ben felt he had been wronged on this particular night and wanted a makeup night. We’ll see how that one plays out. Ben also recently sheepishly asked for new bedding. He went to Dad as he was embarrassed to talk to Mom about it. And probably rightfully so. It did make Mom super sentimental that this little boy is growing up. He wants something without little kid pictures on it. Maybe just stripes. When did our baby boy become an old man? :) I guess he just wanted to ensure that he really does get new bedding so he made sure that God was aware of the situation.
