Happy Father in Heaven

I found this post in my drafts from last year but it was so sweet I had to share it.

I was tired and feeling a little sorry for myself.  Derek took the girls to a Daddy Daughter party at the church and I was putting the three youngest to bed.  John Derek was saying his evening prayer and I was hoping he would finish so I could go relax.  Then he said, "Bless Heavenly Father to be happy and Jesus.  I had never thought of that before.  I have never prayed for my Heavenly Father in the hope that He is okay.  He gets a lot of grief from me as well as the rest of the world.  Is he happy?  Am I doing what I should so that He can happy?  I am grateful for the prayer of my sweet son.  I do believe he has a great relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus, he certainly teaches me about how I should interact with them and how I should trust them.
