(I almost titled this note: "A Child's Prayer")
So, my youngest sister is ten years old and, as anyone who knows me well knows, annoys the heck out of me regularly (actually, that's not true, because if she really had "annoyed the heck" out of me, i would "have no more disposition to do evil"...). Despite this, I do acknowledge that the girl has a gift for saying beautiful prayers.
Today's prayer on dinner was... well... I just give you the highlights:
"We thank thee for this beautiful family which thou hast created and for the love we've built and have for each other..." (absolutely beautiful- I totally agree with her gratitude in that!)
a few sentences later came:
"...and please bless the ill that they may be a little ill, but not die..."
Do you think God will forgive me for my barely contained and irreverent laughter?
