Faith Like a Child

Last night, much of my family was together for the 2nd birthday party of my cousin's little girl. 

My 6 1/2 yr old nephew said the prayer before supper.  I wish we had a tape recorder--it was great!  I can't remember it all, but here's what I remember:

N(6 1/2 yr old) :  Dear God, thank you for this day and for everyone.  And thank you for Nana, and. . .

S(22 mo): for PABA!!! (Pappaw)

N: And please be with Mrs. H because she's sick. . .

E(4 1/2):  Mrs. H is sick?

N: Yes

E:  What Mrs.H?  My Mrs. H or your Mrs. H?

N:  Mine.  

E: What's wrong with her?

N:  I don't know.  She was sick yesterday.

How I love these kids!  They don't ever question whether or not God would want to listen to their conversations, they don't try to be anything they're not when they talk with Him.  They don't think they have to be perfect, they don't question whether or not He will take care of them.  I wish they could stay like this forever.  I wish I had their faith!

And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 18:3
