i love this bedtime book


I found this little board book at a garage sale for 50 cents. And it has become my favorite bedtime book. It's a sweet and simple prayer, thanking God for many different things.


But there prayer is simple and one that I have had memorized for a long time now, after many, many nights of reading this one with a baby in my lap.


"Thank you for each morning that we wake to a new day.
Thank you for the friends we have, our games and fun and play.
Thank you for the winds that blow, tossing leaves on high.
Thank you for the sun and clouds, racing through the sky.
Thank you for good tasting food, for eggs and fish and meat;
thank you too for lovely fruits, ripe and full and sweet.
Thank you for each drop of rain and thank you, God, for puddles.
Thank you for our special pets who come up close for cuddles.
Thank you for the silver moon, the stars that shine and peep.
And when the day is over we thank you for our sleep."



The book is illustrated by Stephanie Longfoot. Copyright Brimax Books Ltd 1995. I tried to find a link online, but I have a feeling your best bet is to find this book at a garage sale too. :)

What an excellent prayer! Thanks for sharing, Becca. It would make a great picture book with photos of your own children. I have always wanted to develop an online program like that where people could insert their own pictures to make a personalized book. Some day! ~Elsa
