Faith Like a Child

Luke wants to be a baby brachiosaurus when he grows up (he use to want to be a reality TV star on Wipeout). Today he said "Mommy, when I grow up I REALLY want to be a baby brachiosaurus, I am going to pray and ask God." I said, "Ok". He began to pray, "God, when I grow up, please make me a baby brachiosaurus, Jesus, I love you, amen." Then he said, "Mommy, now it will happen because I asked God to do it." I thought about bursting his bubble and telling him that dinosaurs are extinct, or that it would be impossible to turn into one later on in his life, I decided not to. The words "faith like a child" crossed my mind and so I let him believe and for a moment became envious of his faith. I know one day he will learn that God wont give him everything he asks for, usually for his own good, but today I am just going to let him be a four year old.
