Thank you

Sometimes it takes the words of a child for us to realize how much we take for granted. Nathan’s prayer at dinner last night:
Dear God,
Thank you for this day. Thank you for Mommy. Thank you for Daddy. Thank you for Emily. Thank you for Nathan. Thank you that I have a head. Thank you for [about 20 other things before the prayer was over].
Amen
Yes, God, thank you that I have a head too. Life wouldn’t quite be the same without one, would it?
I have heard sweet Nathan pray a similar prayer, naming every relative around the table, thought he could not remember everyone’s name. It is sweet though.
