The Elbow Prayer

Today, during the quietest portion of Sacrament meeting- during the blessing and passing of the sacrament- Samuel accidentally hit the tip of his elbow on the pew.  AJ and I were both prepared to pounce and dash into the foyer, just in case he started screaming out of control.  Instead he started to pray . . .

"Heavenly Father.  You need to help my elbow feel good.  It just needs to feel good.  I just need to feel good. (Repeat the previous three sentences about 5 times each. Then . . .)  Jesus, help my elbow feel better.  Amen."

AJ and I were giggling with pride at our sweet little boy.  I am so glad he knows he can take ANY problem to God.  Even a hurt elbow.
