Bedtime Prayers With Daniel

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
The angels watch me through the night
And wake me in the morning light.
Amen

God Bless,

By this point the rest of us have the giggles.

Benny. Benny, daddy, Benny - he says with his hands on Michael's cheeks, trying desperately to get his attention.

Anybody else, Daniel?

...uh, nope.

Are you sure?

...Amen, Mommy. Let's ding (sing)!

Usually at this point, Michael cuts in with a few more people to bless - (including mommy)! And after we've all regained our composure, we sing a song or two before lights out.

That is too precious that he has all those "people" to bless. The wonderful innocence and caring of kids is amazing.
