Tatum's Dinner Prayer

Each evening when we sit down for dinner we take turns blessing dinner. Tatum ALWAYS goes on and on about both the sick and angel heart babies, here's last night's prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, we're thankly for our day, we're thankly for mommy and daddy. We're thankly for Jersey, help her to get better. Please bless Eden and Jake and Gracie. Help them to get healthy, please bless that they will be friends. Please bless that they will be okay. Please bless all the sick heart babies, Ethan, Owen, Libbi, and Lindsay, help them to get better. Please bless their families that they will be okay. Please bless the sick heart babies that they will get better. We're thankly for the food and bless the food. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

It really is so sweet. In the middle of her prayer she'll quietly sit and think of every baby she can so not to forget anybody. It's quite the list and quite impossible for a little 5 year old to remember everybody. She has such a sweet little heart!

Oh My Goodness... that blondie is a sweet one. Thanks for praying for Owen and ALL the other sick babies too. You are such a thoughtful girl. We pray for Jersey as well, that she is up in heaven twirling around with all her friends and telling them about how sweet her Tatum is. :)

Hey...you didn't win, but I told you I could make one for T. What do you want her tag to say?

Darling! I love her! In the craziness of the fun day I lost your address. Text it to me, Koy is wanting to send a letter. Thanks!

I can vouch for those prayers...Tucker always defers to Tatum praying over the food at my house and indeed she does bless every one of those babies and their families and their dogs. Sweetly-since she's at my house-she blesses us too!

Bless that child! Childrens prayers are the best! But that is above and beyond remembering all those names! She is a smartie ;)
Good luck tomorrow. You are amazing. . .
Love-
Heidi
PS: We were trying to teach our kids to keep dinners prayers short and bedtime ones long. However, they are so tired by bedtime that its hopeless.
