Jesus' Friend

The boys and I were saying prayers on the way to school this morning. Aiden went through his litany of intentions followed by Dawson.

"Okay, good job boys. Can I have a turn to pray now?"

"Sure!" was their whole-hearted reply.

I began my litany and reached Nelson's family, "and bless Uncle Jeff, Aunt Sheri, Kaleigh, Jared, Uncle Robert and Angel..."

At which point Aiden interrupted, "Angel?"

"Yes, Angel," I said.

"Oh!" he replied, "She's Jesus’ friend?"

"Let's hope so," I said of Uncle Robert's soon to be fiancée.
