"Can I ask God for something?" - Donny

Sweet ending to my night…

I walked down the hall to turn off the bathroom light that shouldn't have been on when I noticed Donny all wrapped in his blanket, laying in his doorway.

I picked him up and put him back in bed, and he was smiling while pretending to be asleep the whole time. I told him I could tell he was faking it, but he was a sweet looking faker. Then we had this conversation:

Donny: Mommy, can I ask God for something?
Me: Sure. You can ask God for anything you want, but you don't always get it.
Donny: How do I do that? Do I yell for him to come down?
Me: No, you don't have to yell. You can whisper if you want. He can always hear you. What do you want to ask God for?
Donny: I want to ask Him for a new baby.
Me: Well, remember that God doesn't always give you what you ask for. A new baby would have to be in God's plan for us to have another baby in our family.

He then asked me about how God made babies, but we'll tackle that conversation when he's a few years older. Ha! 

I'm sure my mom would love for Donny's prayers to be answered.
