I can remember years ago that I was thinking of praying to God about some minor thing, and then I then I thought I wouldn't bother God about something minor, and He broke into my thoughts, saying "You are my child, if it matters to you, it matters to me." God does things in seasonal times in our lives, when we are unsure of something, He is sure, beautifully written Barbara, blessings Roy

Lol. Well, I am not sure whether that was an answer to prayer or the luck of the draw. Whichever it was, his faith was probably strengthened. And I am sure God has a sense of humour.

I very much doubt that God would take the time to answer such a frivolous request. Luck however, falls into our laps from time to time. I believe this is what happened this time. I am sure that as a parent, you struggle to teach your child/children not to waste God's time with prayers for something as trivial as curly fries.

I hate to say it, but I don't blame him for praying for curly fries. At least he offered a heartfelt prayer and not a full blown temper tantrum. Your story was cute. I love hearing about real life encounters and everyay life. Great writing. Gretchen

I really laughed at this little story. I am loving this project so far. I remember praying for some silly things when I was a child. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

That's such a precious memory! Thank you for sharing that, Barbara. I was rooting for Mom all the way as I could have imagined your frustration but God heard Steven's prayer and may he always remember how God answered! Appreciate your kind mention of my story, too!

It's amazing how often we're inspired by what someone else has said or written. It's great when that happens. Steven was at an age when kids want what they want when they want it. I think you were right in refusing him, as he had said he didn't want curly fries. His solution was great. Try the gumball machine. He must have known it offered a chance to get free curly fries. I agree with you it isn't appropriate to pray for things like curly fries. The prayer being answered this time may lead to disappointment if another prayer isn't answered. judi
