A prayer

Today it rained. The rain got lighter, and it was just sprinkling. As Allyssa was eating a snack I stepped into the other room to do some laundry. I heard her say this prayer, "Dear God, please turn the sprinkler off. I just prayed for God to turn the sprinkler off." I smiled and silently offered up my own prayer that God turn off the sprinkler so that Allyssa could see just how mighty He is, not that she needs more, but just to help her understand that prayers work like that. I looked out the window. The sprinkler was immediately turned off. I think that I was more in awe that Allyssa was.
