Giving Thanks for the Unseen

Young children’s prayers are often sweet and simple. Many of us spoke such prayers during our own childhoods: “Thank you, God, for Mommy and Daddy; and Grandpa and Grandma; and cousin Billy; and cake; and my goldfish, Olly; and ketchup. Amen.” Beyond making us smile, these elementary prayers are a great way to help a child develop a close walk with the Creator and Giver of all good things.
