Simple boy…simple words


He sleeps now and I sneak back  to sit at his bedside and just sit with him in his slumber. This precious boy and his prayers continue bring heaven closer. 

His simple bedtime prayer captured me, ”be with those who are sick, and those who are in need…” These simple words come from the bottom of his heart. He pauses, as if he is imagining who might be sick, or in need…sometimes I can even hear emotion creeping into his (not so tiny) voice. “He continues tonight…”thank you for the firefighters, for the policemen, and those who serve our country and keep us safe. We ask this all in your name, Amen”

The simple beauty of his words remind me, convict me, draw me closer.
