a birthday prayer

I forgot to write down Julia's prayer as she was going to bed after her party. It went right about like this...

Daddy: "Julia, would you like to say the prayer on your birthday?"

Julia: "Yes, (singing) Happy Birthday to you...oh...Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this wonderful day when my cousins come play, thank you for my cake - hey, where's my cake?"

Daddy: "It's in the fridge so you can finish it tomorrow."

Julia: "Oh! (giggling) Thank you Allyson bring my car up the stairs and me bring up gas station. Thank you my big girl bed. In name Jesus Christ, amen."

P.S. A few nights ago she began her prayer, "Once a time..." Julia's prayers are often the highlight of my day.

I was laughing/crying over this post.

When I was little I once answered the telephone, "Dear Heavenly Father . . .!" So I totally empathize.
