Everett's first prayer

for months anytime we ask "Who would like to say the prayer?"  Everett would say "ME!"  We tried to help him repeat the words but he would look at us with a blank look.

On Friday September 25th two days after he turned two, Everett said his first prayer.  It went something like this.

Mama;  Dear Heavenly Father
Everett:  Father
Mama: Thank you for today.
Everett: Day
Mama: Thank you for this food
Everett:  Food
Mama:  Thank you for our home
Everett: home
Mama:  Please bless this food to nurish our bodies
Everett:  Bodies
Mama: in the name of Jesus Christ
Everett:  long pause, he was trying to decided to say Jesus Christ or just Christ but he went with                        "Christ"
Mama:  Amen
Everett:  Amen


I was so proud of his prayer.
