Bonnie's Prayer

I fixed the kids some soup for supper tonight, and left the room to go do something, when I overheard Bonnie saying the blessing.  Here is what she said:

"Dear God, thank you for this food and please bless it in our bodies.  Also, please make tomorrow a snowy day again. I think snowy days are beautiful. Amen."

Then I heard Caleb say, "Bonnie, do you think you could pray instead that God would make today a warm day?"

She said, "But Caleb, I like the snow!"

He replies, "Yes, I know, but the snow makes me shiver and be cold. I want it to be sunny and beautiful."

"Well, I know but the snow is soooo pretty!"

"Well, okay."

Then they just went on talking about different things after that, but I just thought that this little bit was so cute I had to write about it so I'd remember it.

Shortly after the the mother passed out. The baby fell out the toilet hole and onto the tracks. Two or some hours later they found the baby ALIVE! Crazy!! Check it out! I also sent it to Jill.

      Mindy, thank you so much for linking to me...no I don't mind at all, and I'll be happy to link back to you as well.
      Thanks for the encouragement about the burritos. If you make them according to the directions, they taste WONDERFUL, and I am sure you will enjoy them very much more than those burritos from the store!

    Your children are so precious : )

    I heard about the train story and I said on the plus side, the family is probably getting a bunch of donations from people around the world and is receiving good medical treatment.
