childlikeness

i learn a lot when i listen to my children pray. i love their perspective. the simplicity. the innocence.

ella: "dear lord, thanks for the chance to have a nice day. thanks for a house with pink rooms. please helps us to be kind. amen."

bennett: "dear lord, thank you for that there's dirt outside. AMEN!"

"let the little children come to me and do not hinder them for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." matthew 19:14

Aww, that's so sweet.

My favorite prayer from my oldest, who was at the time 4 or 5:

"Dear Jesus, thank you for my mean mommy. Amen."

Yep, he was in a timeout at the time.

Out of the mouths of babes. No wonder Jesus loves the little children :)
