The Prayer

James got down on his knees with his hands clasped together and prayed tonight:

Lord, thank you for the birds and the flowers. Thank you for my sister Etame and making me and all my family. And my cousin Drew is in heaven with you. Please take care of him. In Jesus name, Amen.

What a sweet and simple prayer. It brings tears to my eyes.
