My husband and I have taught our children, and they in turn have taught our grandchildren, to give thanks before a meal. It has been our desire that they would truly be grateful to God for providing us our daily food.

Through the many years I thought we had heard about every phrase possible in those prayers.

"Bless Mommy", "Bless Daddy", "Thank you for the french fries", and "help sissy to feel better", is just a small collection that has come from the mouths of those precious babes. I think some of the most unusual words were prayed by our two year-old granddaughter Brooke.

It didn't matter who or how many of the family prayed before a meal, up would go Brooke's hand to pray. For months and months her one sentence prayer was, "Let the good guys win and the evil guys lose." She repeated those words at every meal. As her grandmother, I stood in amazement that at two years of age she was so insistent that the good guys win and the evil guys lose.

Actually, how could we ask anymore for our children and grandchildren.

My spirit was quickened when I read Proverbs 11:21 from the Living Bible. Just as Brooke had been praying, the evil people will be punished and the godly will go free. I prayed that Brooke's spirit would always be as sensitive and transparent as it was at that young age.

The Lord is triumphant! And as His children, saved by His grace, we are going to be the winners.
