Prayers at Bedtime

We are trying to teach Zoe the right way to live, we do our best by showing her. Each evening at supper she says our blessing she either says "God is Great" or "Father, Father".  In the evenings when we lay her down for bed either Jason or I will say prayers with her, we tried teaching her "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" however she would never say it. A few weeks ago she started saying her own night time prayers and from now on every time she does it brings tears to our eyes. It is the sweetest most sincere prayer I have ever heard. She starts off with Thanking God for a beautiful day and time shared with our family, then she prayers for a good nights rest and then always asks to keep our family safe, the ones that are away from us and proceeds to name each one. I pray every night for her to keep this sincere innocence and love for the Lord and our family. I see her growing so much each and every day and the things she does and says just never cease to amaze me and remind me of how I need to live. We try our best to show her the right way to live and I swear she is the one who ends up showing us most of the time. My cup runneth over....I have been blessed beyond measure, thank you Lord for this precious gift you have to us.
