Tonight's Prayers


Emily wanted to go first:

"Thank you that you made the world. Thank you that you died on the cross. That was very kind of you..."

Jonty interrupts - "you know that actually God is 1. He is 3 because he is the Son of God and Jesus and the Father. But he's still 1."

Emily:"Well, I don't think he is 1. He's actually a grown-up. We need to ask him if he is 1. "

She continues praying: " Thank you for Jesus. He is so nice, not 1 [glares meaningfully at Jonty] - thank you that Jesus made the world and thank you for him - thank you for mommy and daddy and Beanie and Jonty and Emily - thank you for the Buddhists that return to you. Amen"

Amen Emily!

Over to Jonty:
"Dear Lord Jesus. Thank you for a wonderful day. Please help the Buddhists return to you. Help me to be a good boy. Thank you. Oh, please help me to get ready for my test; please help me get my yellow belt. Amen"

Man! I love these kids - even if their theology is a little suspect.
