Night time prayers

Molly often asks about where different people are and if they're sleeping while she's drifting off.
Tonight she wanted to know about her cousins.  She asked if they were asleep and I told her yes.  Then I asked if she wanted to say a prayer thanking God for her cousins.  She said yes, so we walked through a prayer together.  She led it by thanking God for different things.  It was a very sweet moment..."
Thank you for Nina, Grammy, Grandad, Lily.....Lily's taking a nap......right, mom?"  "Thank you for Grandpop, Great Grandpa Brown, Rose, ... etc." 
It was raining outside and she had asked "What that noise?"  I told her the rain so we said "Thank you God for the rain....the snow....and my snowman." 
We said Amen and she asked about her cousins again....said she wanted to pray again, so we did.  :o)
What great prayers...thanking God for all the good people and things in our lives.   Let this be a reminder every day, but especially during this week of Thanksgiving.

Amen.
