Bedtime Prayer

Used to be, bedtime for 2-year old Joslyn meant getting her in a prone position, turning out the light and quickly running out of the room before she realized what was going on.

Lately she’s been more receptive to the idea of sleeping, so we’ve begun an actual bedtime routine. For the last part of that, Shar and I have been working with her on a prayer. She likes participating, which is great, but we’ve quickly realized her main model for praying has been Christian’s mealtime liturgy. Except, instead of what Christian says (Usually as fast as possible: “God is great God is good Let us thank him for our food Amen”, with no pause, just like it’s written), she has created a truncated version, as follows:

God is great

God is food

Amen

    Still theologically correct, in a manner of speaking! Very cute.
