Dinner Prayers
Every night at dinner, our kids say the mealtime grace. The two year old always has the same prayer, "Ga Our Fa, Ga Our Fa, Men." Translation - "God our Father, God our Father, Amen." She used to hear her older brother sing his dinner prayer every night, and that was the first line from the song. She tries to do everything that he does.
Our 5 year old son is trying to learn the language of prayer. Every night at dinner, we hear him pray things like, "God - you are so holy." or "Thank you for making my sister well." or "God - we thank you." Etc... Tonight, his prayer went something like this, "Lord, thank you for making my sister well, thank you that you are holy and we pray that we can be in the circle of life. Amen."
My husband paused and asked him if he had been watching The Lion King again. My son answered yes, and then, my husband prayed and thanked the Lord for our meal.

Although I am not a religious fanatic, I still believe in the value of prayer and it's good if kids learn that early.
