I love my sweet Weston. When I asked him what he was grateful for today he said, "that David could get better." David is his cousin who's had several surgeries and procedures in the last few months with another big one coming. I was touched that he stated it as something he was grateful for not a blessing he's asking for. It's the same in his prayers. After expressing gratitude for the blessings he has, instead of asking for blessings Weston will continue saying he's grateful for things that he's asking for like, "we're grateful that David could get better." At first I was tempted to teach him how to "properly" ask for blessings but stopped myself as I thought of the faith this child has in prayers, that he knows his Father in Heaven will answer his prayers and he is grateful to him for it.
