Dear God

We always say prayers before Jackson goes to bed. Most of the time Jared and I take turns, but lately we've been letting Jackson lead the prayers. He starts out with "Dear God" and then begins to list the people that he is thankful for in his life. It really is such a sweet time that we get to spend together, but Jackson has begun adding his own touch lately.

Here are a few of Jackson's recent prayers:

"Dear God, Gigi, Boom, Maddie, Pa Grape (new name for Pa Hays!), Mickey Mouse, Jesus loves you, Amen."

"Dear God, Gigi, Boom, Maddie, Uncle Scott, Go to school, Pack-packs (back-packs), Amen."

My favorite might have been last night's prayer, though, b/c he mentioned someone that we never really even talk about. It went like this, "Dear God, Mommy, Daddy, Gigi, Boom, Maddie, Memaw, Poppy, Uncle Drew, Uncle Scott, Obama...Pres-i-dent Obama, Amen"

Cracks us up every time. Have a great weekend:)

What a sweet sweet post about a sweet sweet boy. So very sweet. And that Jackson is one smart boy! Looks like he could be a preacher/politician!
