We have been asking God to send Emma a friend, she is getting to that age. One night during their prayers Jason brought up the subject again and this is how it went:
J: Dear God, please send Emma a friend
E: (whisper) Daddy, tell him that she should be three
J: ...a friend who is three years old
E: (whisper) Daddy, tell Him so we can play dress up
J: ...so that they can play dress up together...We ask that you would send a friend Emma's way. Amen.
E: (chin quivering with big tears in her eyes)
J: What's wrong baby?!
E: (bursting into tears) You told God you were going to send me away!!

I love praying with my kids. Did I ever tell you about the time the house went up for sale next to us? We (The Littles) prayed for a six yr. old girl and a four yr. old boy. I tried to tell them maybe we shouldn't be so specific, but they were adamant.
A week later a lady drove up in the driveway next door and her small children hopped out. Claire announced "Those are the people I prayed for!"
Sure enough, four and six. And yes, they bought the house!
As Ben says "God is good."
And we'll add Emma and her friend to our prayer list.
So did Jason cry then too???
This is beautiful...
