Faith of a child

Marshmallows!

Every night before the children go to bed we each take a turn praying. Now 2 year olds, well, they struggle to get the concept. This week we began to get things a little more down-pat, we convinced him to pray for a lady from church who was having back trouble. "--icki back hurt?" he would ask then he would jabber away in what sounded like a prayer. Then he would stop and say, "--icki car?" Huh?

No you don't need to pray for her car, just say "Amen."

"--icki car!", he insisted.

"Ok, pray for her car." Whatever works, perhaps her car does need prayer... And so he did, which he followed with a prompt "A-hem"

This continued all week, eventually I got tired of arguing and just left him pray for her back and her car. My wife was a bit more curious than I, and she asked this lady if her car was running fine this week. I am not sure about all the details however there indeed were some car troubles.

Hmm, I think Daddy needs to listen to his children a little closer.
