A little bit of prayer

Get this image imprinted in your mind....now, close your eyes and imagine her in a high chair. We sit down to do our evening of family Bible study, and I ask, "who would like to pray tonight?"

I survey the room only to see my tiny tiny girl slowly raise her arm in the air. I say, "oh you do? you want to pray?" She nods. I say, "ok, say what I say" . She clasps her tiny hands together and bows her head into them. I say "Dear Jesus", she says, "uh uh", me, "be with us tonight", her, "uh-uh-uh", me, "thank you for this day" her, "babble babble", me, "AMEN", her, "a-ME". No better "words"... and Jesus smiled.

  1. That is priceless. I'm sure that Jesus was smiling big smiles for her.

  2. She is just the cutest little thing ever. I think I could've taken her home with me yesterday. Too bad you'd notice. ;)
