A PRAYER THAT ISN'T BIG OR LITTLE

GROWING UP, my sister and I used to have two prayer plaques on the wall of our bedroom. Our parents had purchased them in a Christian Science Reading Room and put them on our wall so we could learn the words. Each night we would say them when we went to bed.

These verses were a New Year's gift from Mary Baker Eddy for little children and big children (see Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896, p. 400). I was envious of my older sister, who got to say the "Prayer for the Big Children."
