Excerpts
from kids' letters to God
Dear
God,
Are you really invisible or is that just a trick?
Lucy
Dear God,
I want to be just like my daddy when I get big, but not with so
much hair all over.
Sam
Dear God,
I keep waiting for Spring, but it never come yet. Don’t forget.
Mark
Dear God,
Did you mean for giraffes to look like that or was it an accident?
Norma
Dear God,
Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don’t
you just keep the old ones you got now?
Jane
Dear God,
You don’t have to worry about me. I always look both ways.
Dean
Dear God,
I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church. Is that
OK?
Neil
Dear God,
I think the stapler is one of your greatest inventions.
Ruth M
Dear God,
In Bible times, did they really talk that fancy?
Jennifer
Dear God,
I think about you sometimes even when I’m not praying.
Elliott
Dear God,
I am Amearican, what are you?
Robert
Dear God,
I bet it is very hard for you to love all of everybody in the whole
world. There are only 4 people in our family and I can never do
it.
Nan
Dear God,
Thank you for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy.
Joyce
Dear God,
Please put a-nother holiday between Christmas and Easter. There
is nothing good in there now.
Ginny
Dear God,
If you watch in church on Sunday I will show you my new shoes.
Mickey D
Dear God,
If-we-come-back as-something-please-don’t let-me-be Jennifer-Horton
because-I-hate her.
Denise
God,
I would like to live 900 years like the guy in the Bible.
Chris
Dear God,
If you give me a genie lamp like Alladin I will give you anything
you want except my money or my chess set.
Raphael
Dear God,
We read Thos Edison made light. But in Sun. School they said you
did it. So I bet he stoled your idea.
Donna
Dear God,
Please send Dennis Clark to a different camp this year.
Peter
Dear God,
If you let the dinasor not exstinct we would not have a country.
You did the right thing.
Jonathan
Dear God,
Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much if they had
their own rooms. It works with my brother.
Larry
Dear God,
I do not think anybody could be a better God. Well I just want you
to know but I am not just saying that because you are God.

The
Way Kids See It
Last
week, I took my children to a restaurant.
My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our
heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the
food, and I would even thank you more if Mom gets us ice cream for
dessert. And Liberty and justice for all! Amen!"
Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard
a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids
today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why,
I never!"
Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I
do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"
As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job, and
God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached
the table.
He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought
that was a great prayer."
"Really?" my son asked.
"Cross my heart," the man replied.
Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose
remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks
God for ice cream ... A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."
Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My
son stared at his for a moment, and then did something I will remember
the rest of my life.
He picked up his sundae, and without a word, walked over and placed
it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here,
this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes; and my
soul is good already." -- See I'm Doing Something Great. See To serve is to succeed.
