That's no food prayer

Chandler used to only have the "food prayer" for any occasion. Whether dinner, bedtime prayer or any other time it was always the food prayer. I remember being struck when I first heard him utter an unrehearsed prayer some months ago.

Tonight he and Gabrielle are sleeping in sleeping bags in the playroom floor "in their house," which is constructed of a small folding table that Chandler is laying under and a smaller Fisher-Price type table Gabrielle is laying under as well as their play kitchen.

Chandler has apparently heard some praying for "strength" and tonight his prayer was as follows:

Dear God, Thank you for the strength.... (long pause) thank you for the strength to move the kitchen.

Thank you for the strength.... (long pause) thank you for the strength to move the table.

Thank you for the strength.... (long pause) thank you for the strength to beat Satan.

Please help Grandma to feel better and help Aunt Sue with her sickness. Amen.
