Good morning, God. The day is new. I say my first small prayer to You. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! When you're a toddler, every day is full of beautiful ups and difficult downs. And yet from sunrise to sunset, each day, each moment even, can be met with a powerful prayer that young children can Lord, have mercy.
I recently purchased this book when it was on sale at the Ancient Faith Store. I am so glad I did. I have been looking for more Orthodox books for my daughter (who will be 3 this summer). She and I really enjoy this book. I like how it introduces how prayer is such an important part of our lives and should be a part of every hour of the day, no matter what we do. I also appreciate how each prayer is a repetition of "Lord, have mercy." This repetition is so important for learning prayers as well as helping her to remember and to say it along with me as we read. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a simple book that is full of conversation material with their little ones.
