we went out for dinner to celebrate my grandma's 87th birthday. my seven year old cousin and her friend were busy drawing and coloring at the table. My uncle then says, "Okay let's put those away. Now who wants to pray?" Everyone shies away and looks to someone else. Then my cousin's friend raises her hand up high, "Oh me! me! me!" My uncle says, "oh you want to pray for us? ok go for it!" This little girl bows her head and her tiny voice starts singing to a tune. In all my life I've never heard anyone sing a song for a prayer before. For some reason it really moved me. It was so simple, and thanked God for his sovereignty over sun and the rain. it was just too adorable. Children have so much joy and laughter. When we grow up, where does it all go?
