Harley's Prayer

We have a prayer list on the back of the girls bedroom door that we pray for each night. We try, unless it is a really late night, to have the girls pray for 2 or 3 of the people. Well, right now we have three babies that we are praying for. So of course the girls mainly focus on those. Tonight though, Natalie prayed for like 5 people. Harley of course can't do less, so she decided to pray for the whole list. Harley, being 5, can't read, so she would pray for someone and then tap me so that I could tell her the next person. She prayed for the 3 babies, and then came our pastor's son who has joined the Army. He is Basic Training right now. Here is Harley's prayer,

Please, please, please, Jesus help Mykel be healthy. Please Jesus help him on his journey because he needs help on his journey. Please Jesus, watch him and help him on his hunting trip"

She knows that people in the Army wear camo and that you wear camo when you go hunting. So she must have come to the obviously logical conclusion that he is hunting. It was so cute. Her little "pleases" were so sincere, and heart-felt. I have a mp3 recorder, I have GOT to remember to sneak it in with me and record her.
