Over the past several months, Michael has been sick and taken days off to stay home. Generally, the days after he goes back to work, both girls will ask the question "Why?" when I tell them that Daddy is at work. I thought I did a good job being basic and simple, "Daddy is at work to earn money so we can buy things." (In my brain, "things" of course is food, rent, electricty, gas, etc.)
So this was our dinner prayer on Tuesday night, offered by Grace:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we're thankful for this day. We thank you for our food. We thank you that Daddy goes to work. We thank you that Daddy goes to work so we can buy stuff at Wal-mart. Please bless our mommies and our daddies and our brothers and sisters. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
A child's mind...

Little kids are so funny.
What a cute prayer. I have to say, I buy a lot of stuff at Walmart, too.
What a great story. Sometimes I feel like work does equal Walmart because we seem to spend all our money there. :)
