Lamb transcribes a years worth of her daughter's prayers. Chloe is incredibly thankful and will thank God for the most minute detail of her day. She thanks God for some of the funniest things but she is so sincere and truly thankful. Lamb does a beautiful job taking the prayers and applying them to her life and yours, the reader, as well. For example, one of the first prayers she recorded was about thanking God for an extra nugget in her meal. Lamb comments on this tidbit by questioning the reader about how busy we/they are that the daily bread is being missed. Simple things, like an extra nugget or washing a car, are being missed, taken for granted.
Lamb also includes some funny comments by Chloe herself. It's amazing how smart this little girl is! The comments are quite humorous but also thought provoking and incredibly true.
Even though this wasn't what I was expecting, I still laughed throughout most of this book. I mean laughed out loud. But also reflected on how I'm missing God's small blessings. Of course I thank Him for the big stuff, the blessings that are hard to miss even when the day flies by with a million things to do. But after reading this book I try very hard to see the smaller blessings, the details God puts in my life for me to see Him more, to trust Him with everything (even the nuggets in my meal!). I guess this whole book is a summation of faith like a child! If only we, adults, could regrasp what this means. Maybe a book like this can get us back to faith that fully rests on God Himself and His daily, little blessings.
