In Jesus' name. Amen."<br /><br />That is how Dante ended his prayer tonight before he went to bed. The prayer started off the same... "Dear God, thank you for me, thank you for Vince, thank you for Bobbie, thank you my friends, thank you for my... (looks at me) what's it called? Oh yeah, thank you for my family. (looks at me again) And what else?"<br /><br />I said "just say whatever you want to" which is what I normally say to that question. And Dante did what he normally does... he said whatever he was thinking. Tonight it was "I want to go to Heaven and play and run around and give you a big hug. In Jesus' name. Amen."<br /><br />What a cool prayer. I mean, when I hear things like that I realize why Jesus said we should be like the children. I never remember praying to God letting Him know that I want to go to Heaven and play and run around and hug Him - but I will now. Yep. My prayer before I go to bed tonight will include that. Because let's face it... I really would LOVE to go to heaven and run around and play and hug God. I would rather do that than have a good night's sleep (my standard line) or wake up happy (another standard line). So tonight I'm telling God what I really want.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">I want to go to Heaven and play!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Matthew 18:3</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">And he (Jesus) said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."</span><br /><br />Be blessed!<br />VinceVincehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13589710215123374156noreply@blogger.com
