Kids Say the Darndest Things

You can usually anticipate what to expect when Ambrey kneels down to pray. Perhaps the most predictable phrase is please bless the food, regardless of whether we are eating or not. Sometimes she will pray about a recent plane trip (this usually last for 2-3 months following or preceding a flight), or an upcoming holiday that she is excited about. Every once in awhile however, she throws us a curve ball. We knelt down in prayer as a family just a few moments ago, and this was the result: "Father in Heaven (this was followed by what seemed like a thoughtful pause, which was impressive because this is where she usually throws in her bless the food phrase), please bless our bodies so we can be healthy, and not die, like Farfar, but he was old...." For those who do not know, Farfar is Ambrey's great grandfather who passed away before she was born.
