about every sunday i end up hanging out with one of my favorite families. i love it. sometimes dinner, always stories and most of the time delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies.
over a month ago i helped put six year old aj to bed. he was allowed one bedtime story and was advised by mom to offer up a good prayer. after i read the clever pop-up book 'winter's tale' we chatted a little and i kneeled at his bedside. aj wanted to continue chatting but i asked him to begin his prayer because my knees began to hurt against the wood floor. he quickly started praying (this is from my memory so it's not completely accurate).
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for this day.
Thank you for my family and friends and presents. (he just had a birthday. but here comes the good part.)
Please bless that North Korea will be a safe country some day...
and that they will have a good leader.
Please bless that my car won't get stolen. (he just got a power wheel from mom and dad)
Please bless that no robbers will come into anyone's houses. (i was dying and waited to hear more but not much else came.)
In the name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.
