Morning Prayer

Today was Children's Sabbath at our church. Our sons were asked to participate in worship, along with the other youth of our church. All of them did a fanstastic job.

Grant composed and presented the morning prayer. He wrote it himself, and while I did read it before he participated in worship, I didn't change anything about it....

Dear God;

All of your children, big and small, young and old, boys and girls are here to praise you on this fine Sunday morning. On this Children's Sabbath your children have prepared themselves to worship you wholly in the way that they can the best. We give you our hearts, souls, minds and our strength, so you can transform us into what you need us to be. Let us do our best to put you before everything and praise your name. Call for us when we become distracted and lead us back to your path. We are all your chidlren, God, so please show us how to spread your holy name to everyone on this Big Blue Marble. We love you. We'll talk to you later, but right now we will pray the prayer that your gracious son taught his children....
