A child's prayer...

So tonight I was putting Corban to bed and he was saying his prayers and after thanking Heavenly Father for Layton and Shaina (they came over for dinner tonight), he said, "thank you for a good day." I hope that I can be more like him. Sometimes I get caught up in all of the things that we need that I ask for and I forget that sometimes I just need to be grateful for a good day. I wonder if maybe a simple prayer where I say that and mean it would be more pleasing to God than a lot of prayers that I say...don't get me wrong, I am confident that God is happy to hear from us in any way, shape or form...but I am sure that He is more pleased with a simple prayer of gratitude than with my "Christmas list" prayers where I ask for everything that I want.

Tonight let me just say that I am grateful for a good day. A day where I got to read the scriptures, teach the gospel, enjoy my family, a beautiful sunset and a sacred prayer with my son. Thanks for a good day is a good way to sum it up!
