The following is from an email sent by Mark Ramos last 10/9/05. The beautiful innocence of children may put a smile on your lips. These prayers of children to God were received originally as photographs, but 10 are transcribed here (The Dear God line is not included; authors are in parentheses):
- Are you really invisible or is that just a trick? (Lucy)
- Did you mean for giraffe to look like that or was it an accident? (Norma)
- Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't you just keep the ones you got now? (Jane)
- I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church. Is that okay? (Neil)
- In bible times did they really talk that fancy? (Jennifer)
- Thank you for the baby brother but what I prayed for was a puppy. (Joyce)
- Please put another holiday between Christmas and Easter. There is nothing good in there now. (Ginny)
- I think about you sometimes even when I'm not praying. (Elliott)
- If you watch in church on Sunday, I will show you my new shoes. (Mickey)
- If you let the dinosaur not extinct we would not have a country. You did the right thing. (Jonathan)
Wouldn't it be nice if everything was simple and straightforward? But God would not be God if we fully understood him, right?
