Last night I shared a card that reminded me of my brother, Doug, and tonight..... I chose this card that reminds me of my sister, Judy, when we were young. When I look at this little girl saying her night time prayers, I'm reminded me of the prayer we said as little girls........ "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, if I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take." That was the first version we learned but I found this version more comforting...... "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, Guide me safely through the night and wake me with the Morning light." I wonder...... do children still say this little prayer?

They do. We learned the earlier version too, but guess the second one is less scary for the little ones.
I love your Christmas Cards! Nice to get a second look. I still say the "Now I lay me down" prayer every night and I am eighty. I find it very comforting knowing that I have a future in the next world.
I like the 2nd version better. I don't know what little kids say for prayers now, but hopefully I'll find out the week of Christmas, since my grandkids (and their parents) are coming for Christmas.
