Adelyn "Reading" A Prayer for a Child

Addy loves loves loves books.  It is funny how she gets attached to different ones at different times.  This one, A Prayer for a Child by Rachel Field, is one of her current favorites.  Thanks to Aunt Amy for such a sweet book.  I will print the words below to help you understand what she is saying.  I love the "sweet security" line.  Hearing her "read" to me ranks high on the Best Things about Being a Mommy list so far.  Just makes me smile inside and out!

"Bless this milk and bless this bread.
Bless this soft and waiting bed. Where I presently shall be, wrapped in sweet security.
Through the darkness, through the night, let no danger come to fright.  My sleep till morning once again, beckons at the window pane.
Bless the toys whose shapes I know, the shoes that take me to and fro, up and down and everywhere.
Bless my little painted chair.
Bless the the lamplight, bless the fire.
Bless the hands that never tire, in their loving care of me.
Bless my friends and family.
Bless my Father and my Mother, and keep us close to one another.
Bless other children far and near, and keep them safe and free from fear.
So let me sleep and let me wake, in peace and health for Jesus' sake.
Amen."
