A nun once asked the students in her class to write a letter to God. Here are some of the results. Lessons in honest and simple prayer:
Dear God:
If you watch me in church on Sunday, I’ll show You my new shoes.
– Mickey
Dear God:
Did You mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?
– Norma
Dear God:
Thank you for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy.
– Joyce
Dear God:
Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before. You can look it up.
– Bruce
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 think about You sometimes even when I’m not praying.
– Elliot
Dear God:
Thank you for the baby brother but what I asked for was a puppy.

Dear God:
You don’t have to worry about me. I always look both ways.

Dear God:
My brother told me about being born but it doesn’t sound right.

Dear God:
I am doing the best I can.
