Prayer of a four-year-old

I've been having fun holiday-ing with family--Mom and Dad, Like Mike, Daisy, Javich, and Boss and her family.

Tonight we went out to dinner. While we were waiting for our food, Dad got our attention to pray. Four-year-old Sam was sitting next to Dad and volunteered to pray, commenting that he's good at saying prayers.

The body of his prayer went something like this:
"Please help Malcom [his family dog] be safe. And thank thee for these other people that came to Grandma's house. Thank you for Grandma. Please help that other dog that's black [Razor] be safe."

It was very cute.

Later at dinner Marty was asking Sam about Halloween. Sam was explaining how great Halloween is because you say "Trick or Treat" and people give you candy. Sam said that on Halloween he got *almost* enough candy to share with Grace [Sam's little sister].

I may post holiday pictures, but I'll admit, I haven't taken any pictures. My source of pictures will be Javich.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

My favorite part was the cute look that Sam gave Dad when, he realized Dad was looking to pick the pray-er. Sam got this sweet little half-smile on his face, as if he expected to be called on, and then said, as serious and sincere as ever, "I'll say it, gwanpa." So dang cute.
