our nightly prayers

Everynight before going to bed, the four of us sit on the floor, hold hands and pray. We first start out by sharing what we are thankful for and then move on to blessings. Tonight's first prayers started with the following:

Dear Lord,
Thank you for going to summer school, thank you for going to swim and thank you for my shoes. . .

Yes, there was more, but it's really the simple things in life we need to be thankful for isn't it.
