Children's Letters to God


     A teacher in Washington state has been doing writing assignments for years, asking her students to write a letter to God, asking Him a question that they always wanted to ask. Over the years, here are some of the replies she has received.

Dear God,
     In school they told us what You do. Who does it when You are on vacation?
Jane

Dear God,
     Are you really invisible or is that just a trick?
Lucy

Dear God,
     Is it true my father won't get in Heaven if he uses his bowling words in the house?
Anita

Dear God,
     Did you mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?
Norma

Dear God,
     Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't You just keep the ones You have now?
Jane

Dear God,
     Who draws the lines around the countries?
Nan

Dear God,
     I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church. Is that okay?
Neil

Dear God,
     What does it mean You are a Jealous God? I thought You had everything.
Jane

Dear God,
     Did you really mean "do unto others as they do unto you"? Because if you did, then I'm going to fix my brother!
Darla

Dear God,
     Thank you for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy.
Joyce

Dear God,
     It rained for our whole vacation and is my father mad! He said some things about You that people are not supposed to say, but I hope You will not hurt him anyway.
Your friend (But I am not going to tell you who I am)

Dear God,
     Why is Sunday school on Sunday? I thought it was supposed to be our day of rest.
Tom L.

Dear God,
     Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before, You can look it up.
Bruce

Dear God,
     If You give me a genie lamp like Aladin, I will give you anything you want except my money or my chess set.
Raphael

Dear God,
     My brother is a rat. You should give him a tail. Ha ha.
Danny

Dear God,
     Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much if they had their own rooms. It works with my brother.
Larry

Dear God,
     I want to be just like my Daddy when I get big but not with so much hair all over.
Sam

Dear God,
     I think the stapler is one of your greatest inventions.
Ruth M

Dear God,
     I bet it is very hard for You to love all of everybody in the whole world. There are only 4 people in our family and I can never do it.
Nan

Dear God,
     If You watch me in church Sunday, I'll show You my new shoes.
Mickey D

Dear God,
     I would like to live 900 years like the guy in the Bible.
Love, Chris

Dear God,
     We read Thomas Edison made light. But in school they said You did it. So I bet he stoled your idea.
