Morning chat

Our cat, Moe, isn't doing so well. This morning as I sat with Mary Lawton as she ate her breakfast, I told her Moe was sick and that we should say a prayer for him. I started praying.

ML: Mommy! Who are you talking to?
Me: God. I'm praying for Moe because he's sick. God listens to us and takes care of us. I'm asking God to help Moe feel better.
ML: [Kind of looking around. Looking for God, I guess.] I want to see God.
Me: You can't see God. He's all around us, taking care of us. But you can't see him.
ML: I want a banananana.

How have you explained God to your children?
