"Dear God. Dear Lord. Dear Jesus. Protect Jesus' disciples as they catch fish. Keep them safe so they can catch fish if they want to. Protect Esther's baby. It's a boy. His name is Lucas. Keep him healfy. Bring Daddy home safely and us all sleep good. Amen"
This is has literally been every night since we read Matthew 4:18-20 about a month ago. At first I didn't get what he was saying and why he was praying this. But it makes total sense. We're all God's disciples and "catching fish" is in relation to becoming Fishers of Men and teaching others about Christ. So Calvin is actually praying for us all. For all of us who follow Christ to be protect as we reach those who do not know Him.
My heart grows every day as I watch my children learn more and more about our Lord. Thank you, Jesus.

What a great prayer! It should be all of our's prayers every single day!!!
Good job, Calvin! In between Oliver's typical 3-yr-old prayers full of thank-yous... "Thank you for water parks, thank you for otter pops, etc." The other day he just said... "Dear God. Thank you for Jesus. Amen" Pretty much sums it up.
