we’ve been saying meal and bedtime prayers with the turkey since birth.  a couple months ago, we started teaching him a simple prayer to say at meals himself.  today, he recited the entire prayer on his own with no prompting.  i couldn’t be more proud of my little guy.  the turkey’s first solo prayer: “Jesus, thank you for my food. amen.” i only pray that this is his first baby step on a path toward finding and following Jesus Christ.
