Child's prayer

I pray with Sam each night that I tuck him in, and tonight when i was finished, i decided to ask him if he wanted to talk to God about anything and to my surprise he said, "yes" i said, "okay?!? what do you want to say?" he smiled, tucked his head down, and quietly said, "my punkin'...thank you paint my punkin'" I about burst into tears. you see...i had been deliberating about whether or not to get him a pumpkin because they are almost $5 and that is a lot for us these days, but josh talked me into it. so we took him to Wally and let him pick out his very own pumpkin a few days ago. he was ecstatic! so today, we spent a large chunk of time on the porch, just he and I, painting his pumpkin, mixing colors, using all sizes of brushes, washing out colors...he had paint everywhere, and was having the time of his life! it was great to see him take such joy in such a simple event. so when, tonight, he wanted to talk to God, he remembered that time with his pumpkin on the porch and wanted to thank God for it. I wish i were so grateful for all the simple things God has given me...it was a humbling moment and a proud moment all at once. I love this little boy.
