A Child's Prayer

We recently decided to start paying Gordon a dime for chores he does around the house. I was hoping to motivate him a little more and teach him about money (it doesn't grow on trees, ya know). Well shortly after he started saving his money he started praying about money all the time.

• "Thanks that dad can make money, and money, and more money, and money."
• "Thanks for all my money...and thanks that I can have money..."

I was kind of worried that I had created a greedy little monster, but it only lasted about a week or so. It is still hard to motivate him to do much of anything. Any ideas?

Gordon also NEVER forgets to bless Aunt Katie on her mission.

• "Thanks that Katie can deserve a mission..."
• "Thanks that Katie can teach people about Jesus..."
• "Thanks that I can deserve a mission when I get big..."

Gordon has a hard time saying "please bless..." everything is always, "thank you..."

• "Thank you that we can bless our food..."

I guess I should be glad that he is so thankful! I love listening to his prayers it is an insight into what he is thinking about.
