We asked the children to write out prayers to God for Christmas (rather than
letters to Santa that so many people today use to replace God).
Dear God,
Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before. You can look it
up.
Bruce, age 7
Dear God,
I’ve been reading the Gospel of Matthew. What does the word “begat” mean?
Nobody will tell me.
Alison, age 9
Dear God,
Pastor says you love everyone. Have you ever met my sister?
Arnold, age 11
Dear God,
I’m sorry I couldn’t leave more than a nickel in the offering plate. Could
you please have the pastor give a sermon on raising allowances?
Stephanie, age 10
Dear God,
Mom said you owned the cattle on a thousand hills. Don’t you think you
could have used a little bit more money and given baby Jesus a decent place
to be born?
Bobby, age 8
Dear God,
I’m looking forward to going to heaven one day. At least that’s one place I
know my brother won’t be around to bother me.
Jennifer, age 9
