The Peanut Butter Prayer

The Peanut Butter Prayer

  from 100 Prayers God Loves to Hear by Stephen Elkins

Lord, many wonders

Your hands have made;

The sun to shine brightly,

Trees to give shade.

But the wonder of wonders

Made like no other

Is jelly spread thick

On good peanut butter!

Today, I asked Caleb if he'd like to help me make his peanut butter & jelly sandwich for lunch. He gave me an enthusiastic yes. And while he needed help still, I love that he's daring and likes to try new activities.

This prayer is from a book Ryan was given for Christmas. When I read it to him the other night, I couldn't resist adding it to the blog. We go through more peanut butter in this house in a month than most people probably eat all year!
