D’Lo recites his little prayer, hands clasped, every night…and God listens. How could He not? What a precious boy.
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Safely guide me through the night,
And wake me with the morning light.
Please bless us.
Please protect us.
In Jesus’ name…Amen.
Goodnight Bubba, Mommy loves you so much…
