FIRST PRAYER
Two year old Robert Walker knows what giving thanks to God is all about. His mother told me that during their family prayer time, the two oldest children, Reed and Andrea decided they wanted to say their own prayers rather than the family prayer which they had been saying together for years. After their prayer, Robert made it known that he wanted to pray, too. So, Mom and Dad agreed, thinking, “What can a two year old know about prayer?” You decide. This is the prayer Robert offered: “Dear God, thanks for the lady who gave me chocolate. Thank you for candy. Thank you for ice cream. And thank you for Band-Aids. Amen.” For a first prayer, that’s pretty incredible and incredibly thankful.
