bedtime prayer

Last night while I tucked Madeline into bed, she offered to pray. Without any prompting, she got down on her knees beside her bed and asked me to repeat after her.

"Dear Jesus, please heal Papa Joe, Gigi Ruby and my puppy Jack (all are deceased)...please give them food and water and please let them play with you...Please heal Van, my Gigi's brother who I've never met (we actually just saw him last weekend at a party) because he's very sick (with cancer) and has to go to the hospital. In Jesus' name, Amen....Mom, why do we say Amen?"
