This is my friend Moriah. It sounds totally adolescent, but I spent a long time hoping that she would be my friend someday. Now that she is two, she talks to me and smiles at me. Click this link for a video of Moriah saying the Lord’s Prayer with her mom.
Jesus told us that if we could become like a little child we could enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Once in awhile when I am praying, I know that I have touched something special… maybe a bit of heaven. Is that the moment of child-likeness?
So, I want to learn to pray with someone I love, and laugh a little while I do it. But mostly I want to say, “I love you too Jesus!”
