You’re going to love this story Hector shared with me this evening.

Today Hector and Roxy are walking their girls home from school.  Madelina (age 6) is feeling bad that she forgot to thank God for her breakfast this morning.  She stops and kneels on the sidewalk and puts her hands together, thanking God for her food, her parents, her health and several other things that come to her mind.  Hector and Roxy look around - there are people passing by.  Get up, Hector thinks to himself.  But Madelina just won’t stop praying.  So Hector shrugs his shoulders, kneels on the sidewalk, puts his arm around his little girl and starts praying too, thanking God for everything under the sun!  When all is said and done, they get up and walk a little farther, but Madelina remembers she has forgotten something else.  So she makes her daddy kneel again to tell God thank you one more time.  Right there next to the busy street, crowds of Angelenos all around.  Do think God is pleased?

From the lips of children.
