The Five Finger Prayer is a good way to introduce children to intentionally praying for others. Each finger, with a category of persons they may or may not know, follows a progression that encourages them to pray for themselves last ... even though they certainly are not the least! In today's world, where often times there is a sense of entitlement and the desire to fulfill our own wants before our needs, this will help to keep things in a bit of perspective. If you like ... they can color the turkey, too!
