From Jessica:
A morning ritual that Sepporah and I have is that she will crawl into bed with me to chit chat till she is fully awake. This morning was no different but what she said was so precious. It will be one of those moment that I will treasure forever.
The conversation went like this.
"Why do you pray?" Sepporah asked. I explained to talk to my Heavenly Father. "Why do you call Him your Heavenly Father?" she asked. "Because He is my Father who lives in Heaven" I tried to explain. She then moved on to ask me if she could pray for my Uncle who is having surgery on Friday. This was her sweet prayer.
"Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for my sleep and the nice day. I pray that Uncle Bill won't have to have surgery. Because I don't want him to hurt. Uncle Ron will quit drinking beer so he won't die and G-pa Leoni will quit drinking beer and quit smoking so he won't die. Amen."
She was genuine. Her heart was layed out before God. I don't think I've ever heard such a sweet prayer.
I thank God for Sepporah and for bringing her into my life. I know he has great things in store for her.
I love that little girl with all my heart.

Sepporah is fortunate to have you in her life!
Jessica...that was so sweet. I love you for many reasons, one of which is how you love Christopher and Sepporah. Sepporah has responded so well to you as her other mother! Claire and Sepporah are so blessed to be loved by the women their dad's love.
It is no wonder that Jesus took a child and said of such was the Kingdom of Heaven. I am sure He is going to answer Sepporah's prayer and bless Jessica for spending time with her in the way she does.
How precious. She is blessed to have you model praying!
I remember Emily was about Sepporah's age and she was sitting on my lap and informed me that Jesus lived in her heart and asked if Jesus lived in my heart and after I replied yes she responded "can he live in cats hearts? I think he lives in my cat's heart too." Out of the mouth of babes...
