Sweet prayers and songs

After Anniston and I picked up Treyson from the babysitter today, we were driving and she said that she was going to pray. I told her that I thought that was a very great idea, since she had made a bad choice today (didn't nap at school). So she proceeded to fold her hands and say "Dear God, I love you, Amen." I said that was very nice, and I asked her to say another prayer with me. We said, "Dear God, Please help us make good choices so we can be good girls, Amen."

So then Anniston says, "Mommy, I want to sing a song to God". I told her that was a great idea, and she starts singing about how she loves God to the tune of "Skid-a-ma-rinky-dinky-dink". It was comical, but so sweet.

Then she sits there a minute and says, "Mommy, now I will sing a song to my Leah". (Of course, Leah being Jerry's sister who passed away almost 4 years ago. Any time we talk about God and heaven, Leah's name is mentioned). So I told her that her Leah would love that. She starts out, "Oh, we like to brush our teeth, if Mommy says it's ok. Oh Leah, how are you doing today? Very much good. I am so happy. Oh, Leah, how are you doing today? Very much good!" Then she smiles and says, "Mommy, did you hear me sing to my Leah?" Craziest song I've heard, but absolutely the most heart-warming.

Oh, we are so blessed to have a little girl who recognizes that she can pray and sing to God, Leah, PePaPa and anybody else in heaven that she wants to! I just love that sweet girl (especially when she naps!! haha)
