Countless times, I've witnessed one of our kids saying their prayers. Well, maybe countless is a stretch, but it's safe to say I've heard quite a few nighttime prayers.
That's why Allie's prayer last night stuck with me. She thanked God for the usual things: her parents, her friends, her aunts and uncles, her Mema and Pepa, her Nana, you get the idea. She even thanked him for sending Jesus and, in a timely move that I'm sure was designed to improve her take on Christmas Day, she even thanked him for sending Santa.
But then, she surprised me.
In a very natural way, like she'd said it a hundred times, Allie thanked God for photosynthesis. She did! Okay, she didn't actually say that, but it's what she meant. Here's what she said:
"...and thanks, God, for making the trees, so we can live."
That's the same as photosynthesis, right? Anyway, it was pretty accurate and very sweet.
