I was sorting through the girls' keepsake boxes and found a piece of paper where I had hastily scribbled Mira's first prayer. She was 4 1/2 years old and this was before dinner, which was not her favorite: rice, chicken and broccoli.
Dear God,
Thank you for the scrumptious food for Mama, but not for me. Please God, please make me something different. God, please let me see the birds in Heaven. Please let me see your face. I want to see the angels. I want to see everything in Heaven. Please take me there someday. Thank you for my cat. Please feed my lovely soul. Please God, please.
Amen.
Dear God,
ReplyDeletePlease let me have the faith of a child.
Love,
