DAY FIFTEEN

A CHILD'S PRAYER

Thank you, God.

Thank you, God.

Thank YOU, God.

Thank you, God.

Thank you, God.

Thank YOU, GOD, for keeping me safe and not falling through the trap door of the hay loft and into the bull pen!  Thank you, God for keeping me safe and letting my older sister fall down into the bull pen instead of me!! 

THANK YOU, GOD!

This was my very first sincere and contrite prayer of thanksgiving that I ever offered up to God.  I was only five.  Over half a century later I can still recall the joy of this thanksgiving prayer.  I remember sinking to my knees on the bed of hay up in the barn's loft and mentally shouting this prayer to God.  Ruth
