Dear God: Make them cute, please

20107Feb

by Grace

Pristine has been very specific with her prayers lately. She would thank God for the day, the blessings we received, for her friends at school, for her mom and dad and some extras at the end. Here’s the “extra” request last night:

Dear God, please give me 3 brothers and 2 sisters. Thank you. Hurry please?

Our room was dark so I can’t see the look of her face but her voice was downright serious. She really thinks my body can handle 3 boys and 2 girl AT THE SAME TIME because she says, “there’s plenty of space in there”. Yikes.

Then she made the sign of the cross and lay down. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she jerked and sat up again:

And God? Please make them cute, just like me. Thank you, good night.

Aw! Well, at least her heart is in the right place. Lol
Her expectations on the other hand are a little skewed…
That’s still adorable though ^.^

love her innocence!
i believe that the power of a child’s prayer is great. are you ready for ’3 brothers and 2 sisters’ for her, all at the same time? if they are going to be as cute as P, this shouldn’t be a problem, right? ;)

I am wondering where a little girl would get such an idea.

Usually, an American child, unless he or she has a very close and loving family, would shun the idea of sibling competition for love and other resources.

There is another factor in this child’s life that sets her apart, and whatever that factor is, both her parents and her God deserve credit for giving her such a great heart and such faith in the goodness of life.

She is so cute…Is she one of those girly girls who loves dolls etc? Also a question not related to this post.. I read in the paper that they have opened the largest Bloomingdales.. the first store outside the USA I have never been to one but since it is the largest and by you.. I wondered if you have seen it yet??

Oh, the innocence of childhood… With so many of us praying for you – you never know what might happen.
Pristine obviously knows that you have enough love in you to have that many more children… As do we all.
