"Dear God, Tomorrow please don't sleep very much, just take cat naps because you have a lot to do. Send your angels to make rain over all the other states and you take the biggest...Texas. We need you to make a LOT of rain here. Thank you. I love you and will always love you, and I will always keep you in my hands."
I reached back and asked him for a high five, telling him that was an awesome prayer, but he said "Sorry, I really can't high five you because I'm making fists to keep God in my hands." I tried not to laugh while he decided, "Well, maybe I could keep him in my heart instead of my hands. That would be better right?" I told him it would, and he immediately said "OK. Do you have any tape?" I tried harder not to laugh, and reassured him that he didn't need to tape God there, all he had to do was to ask him. Here is how he asked:
"Dear God, Can you please put your heart in my heart....no- all of you- your heart, your kidneys, your bones, lungs- put all of you in there. Thank you."
Then he asked about angels and if they were "his family or his army or pieces of him or what?" I told him that angels helped Him protect us, and he said "Yeah, 'God's Protection Army', lets just call them that for now."
I don't really know what else to add to this post because Rowan said it all...I am completely amazed by his faith and understanding. I had to pull over to write some of this down immediately, because I was afraid to forget a single precious nugget of it! This was quite possibly one of the best conversations I've ever had, and it was with a 5 year old. Thank you God:-) for special car rides like this one tonight.
