We say a prayer each night before we eat dinner, whether eating in or out. Until Lucy started preschool we would say my family prayer of, "Come Lord Jesus, be our guest. Let these gifts to us be blessed." Lucy learned this prayer and would always say it with us. Molly would fold her hands and always say Amen at the end.
A few weeks after preschool started, Lucy said the prayer for us and she said, "God is great. God is good. Let us thank him for our food. Amen." She learned that at preschool and said they say it every day before they eat lunch. We thought that was so neat and started saying that as our prayer each night before dinner.
Well, our dinner prayer changed again a few weeks ago as Lucy told us she had a new prayer for us when we started to pray one night. We told her to go ahead and say it and we would listen. She folded her hands, closed her eyes, and said, "God. God. God. God. God. God. Amen." It was the funniest thing and I tried so hard not to laugh! It was so sweet because she was being serious by it. I think she was maybe trying to make something else up but didn't quite know what to say, so just said God. :) The "God. God. God." prayer has now become one of our regular prayers at dinnertime.
