An open heart: Letters to God

We watched a movie this weekend as a family, called Letters to God, if you haven't seen it I highly recommend it, It's based on a true story, about a boy who is dying of cancer, who touches the lives around him with the letters he writes to God. I wasn't sure how my little ones would like it or even grasp it, but they have asked to watch it over and over again. This movie touched me so much, bringing truth about how our lives effect those around us, and sometimes a bad situation is used for the greatest purpose. The movie has opened a whole new idea in my household with my kids wanting to write letters to God, though they know they can just talk to him, it's really sweet that they want to write these letters.

I want to share these letter my kids wrote, to touch your heart as much as it touched mine, and hoping that through my little kids words, God will touch your heart, by seeing the faith of a child.

This is the exact letters misspelled and all

Dear God,
