Longest prayer

Remember how Ella eagerly listens to Donald when he explained about baptism last Sunday? Well tonight right before dinner, Ella was shooting questions about the Creation one after another. So Donald had to answer them all before she complains that “Daddy doesn’t know everything about bible…” She started asking about God. She asked what’s the name of God….Donald said “God” Ella was stunned…”God what?…He has no family name?!!!” :roll: They had a quite long question and asnwer portion. Since we arrived here, Ella was the one who is praying before meals. And so tonight she said the longest prayer I have ever heard! She sounds so cute talking to God.

“Dear God thank you for the food we eat, thank you for the sun so bright. Thank you too Lord for the rain…plants are so happy to get a drink….thank you Lord for making us human, we are your favorite Lord that you made our mouth talk. Thank you Lord for our home, our life is a lot nicer here. Thank you too Lord that you made chicken, dogs, birds, cats and fish. Please help us Lord that we can have juice always……” Oh well I could not recall everything she said! Trust me, it’s toooooo long!

After dinner, she hurriedly went to shower and brush teeth. When she was dressed, she let me get her children’s bible on the shelf and waited for Donald to read to her. Her bible has illustrations. She listens attentively, this will be until midnight I guess…Donald has to read in English and translate in Tagalog plus the question interruptions on almost each sentence he reads! LOL
