How to pray


Prayers are simple enough at Daniel's age, but they teach me something for sure. He has just begun to list all of the many things he's thankful for. Usually he says things like "wii", "balance board", "tennis" and "mario kart" (what idolatry we've already instilled in this young child!!), but he's really started to mention family and will name different ones he loves. He also surprised me today when he started thanking God for "blue, red, purple, pink..." and on and on. It strikes me as a worthy subject of thanksgiving. Isn't it amazing that God gave us color? Wouldn't the world be so boring if it were only black and white? Thank you Father for being beautiful and for creating and sustaining beauty.

I like. :-). In college, my roommate Sarah taught me to be thankful for the moon.
