Prayerfully Yours,

Sean likes praying, which warms our heart.  His first word was Jesus, and he has told me at different times that when he grows up he wants to be "a Pope," "a Priest," "Fr. Jeremy," and most recently, "An altar server." Last night he was in a particularly reflective mood.  He led us in prayer for grace before dinner, which was:

"Dear Jesus, Thank You for this food.  I love Greta. Amen." 

For nighttime prayers, after we go through our usual routine, we always ask Sean who he wants to pray for.  95% of the time it goes like this, "Aub, Neece, Michael..." then some variation of Meg, Tim, Jake and Lexi. Last night, however, when asked "Sean, who do you want to pray for?" he answered:

"Pray for all of the football teams." 

Hmmm....?

He is a holy child. Maybe his prayer will divert the NFL lockout.

Michael and I decided that the football prayer was really just his usual prayer for Michael, because Michael really wants the football teams to play this fall.
