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.
