I am Thankful for...

Last night at dinner Greg and I were talking to the girls about why we celebrate Thanksgiving. We talked about the pilgrims and Indians, why we eat turkey for thanksgiving, and explained we had many many things to be thankful for. We then proceeded to talk about things we were thankful for. Greg and I named a few things we were thankful for, and Matayia followed. Kaitlyn patiently listened to every ones list and then replied "I am thankful for prayers" I looked at her a little stunned, but felt a somewhat proud. Prayers at our house are often a time for fighting. It seems it should always be someone else's turn, which always causes a fight on who "gets to say the prayer. I often wonder if the things I teach my kids really sink in and Kaitlyn taught in that small comment, we are on the right path. However, I am sure there will be a fight on who "gets" to say the prayer for dinner tonight.
