A Child's Prayer

The other night we got out to run a couple of errands. We were just finishing up and getting ready to drive towards home when Ardon says from the back seat, "I think we should pray for grandpa." We told him that sounded like a great idea and that he could go ahead and pray what was on his heart. As we quietly listened this is what came from the back seat.

"Dear Jesus, please help grandpa when he's driving home tonight, and keep him safe so he doesn't get bumped on the road by another car and have to have the police man come to him. Please help him get home so he can be with meme. And Jesus, please help meme for when she goes to bed tonight so she can be able to sleep when it's night time."

"Jesus, I want to pray for the grandpa that lives in Santa Fe, that he would be able to get more rides to grandma Leyba's house so we can see him more."

"And Jesus, be with great grandpa and help him not get sick any more so he doesn't have to go to the hospital any more and so he can stay home and feel better."

"We love you Jesus, Amen."
