Of singing grace and mobility

Thought I’d share this prayer that I sing with the boys sometimes before supper. I learned it at primary school (like, a hundred years ago) and it has always stuck with me – profound, simple:

Father, we thank you for the night
And for the pleasant morning light;
For rest and food and daily care
And all that makes the world so fair.
Help us to do the things we should –
To be to others kind and good.
Help us in all we think and say
To love you better day by day.

The past week I’ve been rapidly baby-safing the house – covering plugs, removing small swallow-able objects, putting toilet brushes out of reach, etc. Scott is everywhere – crawling, and curious! J
