Prayer time with the boys

Ever since the boys have been big enough we have had prayer time with them.  We go in and pray over then.  Now that they are big enough I have been trying to teach them to pray for themselves.  Usually, they say, "What should we say?" I tell them "Lets start with what you are thankful for?"  Then, we proceed with our request.  I am trying to teach them prayer is about having a conversation with God like they do me.  

Tonight was a precious moment with the boy.  Micah was thankful for a whole list of things, "Thankful for being good at school, for the trip to the farm, for having a good day." Then he said "I am Thankful for my trip to the pumpkin patch.  Which I haven't gone on yet."  Then he peeked up and look at me like is it okay I said that.  I replied, "It is always good to be thankful for things you haven't done yet."  It was just a moment that presented its self. 

Levi also went the normal stuff to be thankful for, then he said, "I am thankful for my friend Christian, and his baby (his has a little sister) and help him enjoy her. We are thankful for this baby."  He also told God. "You are awesome and cool!"  It was just a good night with the boys. 

I really enjoy these moments with them.  I love hearing their prayers and what they are thankful for.
