  Scripture:  1 Timothy 4:4-5

  Tags:  Thanksgiving, Children, Fathers Day, Prayer Before Meals

James Dobson tells of the time he was away on a business trip. While he was away, and his wife and 2 children were sitting down to eat, his wife turned to their two year old son Ryan and asked if he would like to pray before he and sister ate.

The invitation startled the little boy, but he folded his little hands, bowed his head and said reverently,

"I love you, Daddy. Amen."

(James Dobson, Focus On The Family Magazine April 07 p. 18. From a sermon by Jeff Strite, Beyond Servanthood, 8/26/2012)
