Thank You, World!

Think of something lovely. Maybe sunshine. Maybe a hug. Maybe yummy food! When someone does something kind, we say thank you. People all over the world say thank you to God too.

A prayer is talking to God. Some prayers ask for help. Some prayers say thank you. A thank-you prayer is called a prayer of thankfulness. People in many faiths say thank-you prayers. A Christian might say thank you before eating food. A Muslim might say 'Alhamdulillah' — that means 'thanks be to God'. A Jewish child might say a blessing to thank God for fruit. They all feel grateful. Grateful means happy and thankful for something good.
