Sunday Prayers
My parents were not church goers but they sent us kid to church every Sunday. It was not until I was older did I learn they were sending us to church so they could have some peace and quiet for a couple of hours. There were six of us kids so you can guess that they needed the time 
One thing they did teach us was to pray before and after our meals. Before our meals we always prayed
“Come Lord Jesus, be our guest, let this food to us be blessed. Amen”
and after the meals we were taught to pray
“Oh give thanks unto the lord for he is good and his mercy endures forever. Amen”
They were simple prayers but they invite fond memories of my youth. Oh to go back when the prayers of a child was so simple and so meaningful

Matthew 18:1-5 (King James Version)
1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
