kenadee's easter prayer

oh how PROUD i am of my little girl. friday night we read the story 'what is Easter' (it is great, i highly recommend it...and also 'what is Christmas'). i really didn't think kenadee was paying that much attention to the story. it talks about the Easter bunny and candy, the new Easter dress, jelly beans, coloring Easter eggs...then it tell the real story of Easter and how Jesus died on the cross for us, and how he now sits next to God and wants to be in our hearts. well...saturday night at bed time i told kenadee it was her turn to say prayers, after the 'no it is your turn', and 'you have to repeat', and 'isn't it daddy's turn', and 'i dont' want to say them', she finally gave in and said her prayers. this is what she said...
(i wish i had the camcorder out so i remembered every detail...but who knew this is what would happen??!!)

"Heavenly Father, thank you for this beautiful day. bless all the children. thank you for all that you give us. thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for us. bless the Easter bunny will come to our house. thank you God for all of our blessings. we pray that you will have a great day in heaven, and grandma C too...and that her wings don't fly off in heaven. thank you God, i love you so much and Jesus too, you are the best. hope daddy drives home safe from work in the morning.

Amen"

wow!!! how my heart swells and my eyes water...she makes me so proud.
i hope and pray for YOU and your loved ones this beautiful Easter season. may Jesus live in your hearts like He does ours. and to all of our angels in heaven...hold tight to your wings 'so they don't fly off in heaven'.
