Wright's Prayer for Daddy

Brendan is in Las Vegas this weekend on his annual guys' fantasy football draft, golf, college buddies get-together trip. We took him to the airport Thursday morning and when he got out of the car, I said "Ok let's say a prayer for Daddy." and I started to pray. Wright quickly interrupted me and said, "No! No! I want to pray for Daddy by myself!" (everything is BY MYSELF these days ;) So, he proceeded in a mumbling voice...

Dear God, thank you for Daddy, help him be good, help him be safe, help him be better. AMEN!

I was very impressed at how well he nailed the prayer and especially loved the "help him be better" part considering these trips in the past have yielded mistakes such as lost wallets, no sleep and other not-so-great choices :)

On a related topic, the other day we were driving and passed a bad car wreck where an SUV was upside down and people were crawling out the windows. It really freaked me out and I said, "Buddy we need to pray for these people right now, ok?" and I started to pray for them out loud. When I was done, Wright said "Um, I already do that every night!" LOL - guess we need to work on the fact that prayer can and should be any time of day.
