Message for God

So, Christian came home from school last week with an envelope in his backpack. It was labeled "God". I looked inside and found a blank index card. I asked him what it was for, and He said "it's a message for God!" I asked him what he was supposed to do, and he said we needed to get an orange crayon and write a message to God on the card, so I decided to jump on it and do it with him right then.

Orange crayon in my hand and Christian ready to dictate, this is what he said:

"God, I know that you love us, and we'll love you too forever. I want to live with you forever. I just can't tell you how much I love you! Thank you for making the whole earth, and thanks for everything, God. Amen."

There were a few other things mumbled in there under his breath, but that's what I was able to catch and write down (and what I wrote down was word for word what he said). He sounded so grown up and like he has a relationship with God already at the young age of 4. My prayer is that his relationship with God will continue and grow throughout his entire life and that he will truly know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior! What a wonderful start, and I thank his pre-k teacher, Mrs. Wessley, for making that moment with my son possible!

  2. We did keep it! I still don't know why he had it in the first place or what he was supposed to do with it!
