Oh God Send Me Snow!

Reilly (my 4 year old) has been praying for snow everynight. He asked me the other night, "Mommy, I know how to pray to keep me safe and healthy, but how do you pray for snow?" I cracked up. One thing about Reilly is that he is never at a loss for words. I told him to just pray like we normally do and just add at the end that you would like for some snow if God thinks it is a good idea.
"Well, Mom he already sent a little bit, so he'll think a lot is a great idea!" Again, trying to hold back laughter, I don't want him to think I'm laughing at him. So, he went ahead and said his prayers like normal. Then, at the end he sat up nice and straight, had his hands perfectly folded and whispered very clearly to his finger tips ( he believes angels sit on his finger tips when he prays and they take his prayers to God) "Oh God Send Me Snow! Good Night, Amen."

Needless to say we didn't get snow, however, Reilly was quite content with the fact that the snow that had fallen previously was still there. "God didn't let it melt this time. That's ok too!"
I know I was relieved to hear he was satisfied because I was in no mood to field a thousand questions of why God didn't answer his prayers.
Tomorrow should be interesting as the weather is supposed to warm up. Maybe by then I'll be able to direct his interests else where. I'll be praying for that...LOL!
