Z's favorite teacher didn't show up at the school today. I asked Z if the teacher had gone on vacation, Z replied "She's sick."
I usually ask Z to say a prayer for our F&F when they are not feeling well, so I suggested a prayer for her teacher while we were driving home.
Z has always asked about Jesus since I told her Christmas is Jesus' birthday and we get to have a big celebration because it's Jesus' bday party. Also she gets presents for Easter because Jesus brings it to her. In the past when I asked her to say a prayer to Jesus and she would ask "where's Jesus? He's not answering" and I would say Jesus lives at church (because church is his home) and he's everywhere and in our hearts, therefore he will always hear our prayers.
This time, strapped in her car seat, Z pretended to pick up a phone. " Hello Jesus, my teacher V is sick please help her feel better. Thank you." I turned around and asked what she was doing. What she said brought tears to this crybaby momny's eyes: " I'm asking Jesus to make Teacher V feel better. I'm talking to him in my heart."
Yes baby.
Sniff.
