We have been looking for a library book for weeks. I mean
looking everywhere. I was ready to just go pay the fee so we could start
checking books out again. In a last-ditch effort I suggested everyone pray and
look one more time. Little Ammon—just 2 years old—sat down and on his own said,
“Hevly Fadder, pease hep me find mine book. Jesus Chis, amen.” I hugged him and
went into the boys’ room. It was (and still is) a mess! I tidied up their
bookshelf and pushed in the baskets. I noticed Ammon’s diaper basket and
wondered if it was empty, as he has not worn diapers for a few months. I pulled
it out and surprise of surprises! Poncho
Rabbit and the Coyote was in there! The kids and I celebrated, Logan suggested
we say a prayer of thanksgiving, and I pointed out that Heavenly Father had
heard Ammon’s prayer, and that something as small as a library book was worth
His time and help.
We
finally finished Where the Red Fern Grows.
Most everyone shed a few tears.
Then
I noticed that Grant’s shorts were looking a little funny. They were Ammon’s
18-month pants!! He didn’t appreciate the laughs and wouldn’t let me take a
picture.
So….
tears, laughs, and a prayer answered. It’s been a good day!
Ah yeah, I have a lot of catching up to do. But here are the kids down on the farm in PA. They were always begging Grandpa to take them for a ride. Don't worry, he didn't drive them all around at the same time. We just thought it would be a cute picture.
