A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, July 18th

Good Morning, God,
Three young boys, typical young boys, seen at the 4-H fair with their hands over their hearts as our National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner, was sounding throughout the fair grounds. Three young boys from different areas around here, able to meet every year at the 4-H fair. Three young boys just havin' fun at the fair, until they are old enough to paticipate.
Lord God, we remember these more idyllic times, times when we were taught patriotism, taught how to play together and without adult supervision, taught the difference between right and wrong - and lived it.
Lord, just for a bit today and every day, grant us the vision to see the world around us through 8-year-old eyes. Help us to enjoy playing togetrher with a couple of good friends. Lead us to remember our manners, our boundaries, and our honor in patriotism toward the country in which we live.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
