Dear God
Ellie: Dear God
Me: Thank you for loving me
Ellie: Thank you for loving me

Ellie: And for sending Jesus
Me: Amen
Ellie: Amen
Daddy, can you pray?
Me: Dear God thank you for loving us and sending your son Jesus for us, help us to love you more and to love other people. Amen.
Did you know you can pray anytime you want?
Ellie: Anytime I want?

Ellie: Yeah,

Me: Oh, no, I just love God a lot.
Ellie: Daddy, where is Jesus?
Me: He is with God
Ellie: Daddy, where is God?
Me: [hesitates] He is everywhere?
Ellie: Are there lots of gods?
Me: Oh no! just one [holding up one finger]
Ellie: And Baby Jesus [adds a finger]
Me: Yes, and the Holy Spirit [adds a third finger]
Ellie: And who is that one? [pointing to my pinky]
Me: Oh no one, is just three.
Ellie: And Baby Jesus is in the manger.
Are we going under the train tracks?
