Praying for the future

A few times during our nightly prayers I have prayed for the boys' future wives.  The first time, of course, Carter asked about this new and strange concept.  We discussed that God had (possibly) picked a wife for him and that we should start praying for her - whoever she was - that God would protect her and comfort her and that she would know Him.  He thought this was interesting but really didn't say much then or again.

Weeks later - tonight - on the way home from the grocery store.

Carter: Mommy? Do I have a wife?
Me: Not yet.  But God has her picked out for you when you get to be an adult.
Carter: What is her name?
Me: We don't know that yet, buddy.
Carter: Where does she live?
Me: We don't know that either.

Pause

Carter: I think she probably lives on Earth.

Yep, that's be a good guess.
