DEAR GOD: NOTES FROM CHILDREN

A teacher asked her class to write notes to God. Here are some of the notes the children handed in:

Dear God:

I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset You made on Tuesday. That was cool.

Dear God:

Maybe Cain would have liked Abel better if they had their own rooms. That's what my Mom did for me and my brother.

Dear God:

If You watch me in church on Sunday, I'll show You my new shoes.

Dear God:

I bet it is very hard for You to love all of everybody in the whole world. There are only four people in our family and I'm having a hard time loving all of them.

Dear God:

In school they told us what You do. Who does it when You're on vacation?

Dear God:

Are You really invisible or is it just a trick?

Dear God:

Did You mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?

Dear God:

Who draws the lines around the countries?

Dear God:

I went to this wedding and they kissed right in the church. Is that OK?

Dear God:

Thank You for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy.

Dear God:

Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before. You can look it up.

Dear God:

You don't have to worry about me; I always look both ways.

Dear God:

I think about You sometimes, even when I'm not praying.

Dear God:

Of all the people who work for You, I like Noah and David the best.

Dear God:

I would like to live 900 years just like the guy in the Bible.

Dear God:

We read Thomas Edison made light. But in Sunday school they said You did it. So, I bet he stole Your idea.

St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
