Child-like Faith

When my firstborn was 3 1/2 (he'll be turning 5 pretty soon!), I recorded some of the prayers he said.  Here they are to give you a warm smile... and a hearty laugh!

"Jesus, please take the boogers away.  In Jesus name."


After spilling some milk:
"Jesus, please take the milk off my pants.  In Jesus name."


He stamped a cow stamp on our window:
"Jesus, help take the cow off the window.  In Jesus name."


"Jesus, please help Zachary's tummy feel better..." :) (one of his good buds)


I gave him a slice of fresh bread that was too hot to eat:
"Jesus, can you make my bread warm? In Jesus name."
And later that night with the same problem:
"Jesus, can you make my pizza warm?..."


Upon seeing Daddy's new haircut:
"I'm going to ask Jesus to give you your hair back, Daddy."


"Jesus, thank you for healing my owie.  You're very nice and I love you."  :)


While reading the book Wacky Wednesday in which there is a green sun:
"Jesus, please make the sun turn back to yellow so it won't be green anymore.  In Jesus name.  Amen."


After eating a sticky snack in the car:
"Jesus, please take all this sticky stuff off my hands.  In Jesus name."
I handed him a wipe, then he added, "Jesus, don't help me, I have to do this by myself."
