Prayers from Gus

If you are sick, you'll want to let Gus know. He will not forget you in his prayers, even when you are recovered. A classmate was sick right before Christmas break and he has included her on his prayer list ever since. I try to tell him that I'm sure she is fine by now but he insists on God Blessing her. Guess it can't hurt. Grandmother was sick just as we left Houston last week and although she is better now, Gus still asks, "Grandmother sick?" during his bed time prayers. 

He has recently added his prayer lamb that Granny Jo and Popsy gave him a long time ago to his entourage of crib buddies (which used to just be Elmo and Cookie Monster but now include two stuffed puppies, a bunny rabbit and at least five teddy bears). Prayer lamb recites The Lord's Prayer, Glory Be and Hail Mary. Without any help from us (only prayer lamb) Gus can say them too! 






Obviously these aren't as clear and amazing as they are when he does them off camera but you get the idea. It should at least assure you that, should you become ill, Gus has got this.

So sweet! Do I have to get sick to have Gus pray for me?

No, but it would help!

Could Gus include the Texas Longhorns and the Houston Texans in his future prayers? Both teams have new coaches and will need all the help they can get in turning around underachieving programs.

That is for sure GR. All the ladies in the office enjoyed watching Gus pray. He has a fan club!

He sort of prays about football every day when he asks me, "Did Texas Fight win the game?"
