bedtime prayer

Josh's dad had back surgery this past spring, and Olivia has diligently prayed for him over the past several months.  Even though we've corrected her several times and told her just to pray for his back to feel better, she continues to pray for the surgery.  She added a little extra to the end tonight...

Dear God,

I pray for Grandpa and his back surgery and...(several second pause)...and that he doesn't get old.  Amen.

I hope it's okay to laugh during prayer time.  I couldn't help myself.
