A Child's Faith

Joey: "I have a lot of friends."

Me: "Yes you do. You're a friendly guy."

Joey: "And my brothers are my friends too. And my baby sister is my friend too."

Me: "Your baby sister?"

Joey: "Yep. My baby sister is my friend too."

Me: "Honey, you don't have a baby sister."

Joey: "Uh-huh! I asked God for a baby sister, and He said 'Yes'!"

Me: "Oh. Ohhh-kay."

  15. I don't know how so much affection can be wrapped up in one Joey. He's so adorably cute. I don't think you and Todd can disappoint him.

  19. Wouldn't she be the cutest little thing?

    Goosey always says she asks God for triplet babies. I tell her that wouldn't happen, and she always tells me that's up to God.

    I hope God hears Joey louder than he hears Goosey!

  20. My daughter talks about her big sister all the time. She will see a pretty girl on tv, like around 18 and say, hey! why is my sister on tv? Weird.

  26. That is so cute. I have a friend who said her kids sabotaged her with prayers for another baby! My oldest prayed for a baby sister for years and she finally got one and she is the happiest little girl in the world until her sister starts wanting to play with her toys :)

    Anyway. I'll mail the baby girl things as soon as you say when-- wait, forget you, what do you know. Have Joey ring me.

  33. How far along on the nursery are you now? LOL...cause if a little child asks, you better believe it's in the works one way or another...

  34. Will you ask him to pray for me to have a girl too? ;) Then I just might think about having another baby.

    ReplyDelete
  35. That's funny, but it would be so great if God gave him what he asked for. I love it when my kids join me in prayer, and isn't it cool that when children talk to God, it isn't fairy-tales and make-believe, but He hears the desires of their little hearts? I hope he keeps on praying, understanding more and more every day.
