Today there was a moment that I have been hoping and praying to have with the boys for some time now. I really feel grateful that the Lord put this experience in my life at a time when I probably needed the message of it more than the boys. So the story goes that the little green spider toy that is in Tyler's hand was something that he won tonight at Chuck E Cheese and while we were at the park I see him walking up a hill head low and crying saying he lost his new spider toy. To be honest my first thought was to just to say, "I am sorry Tyler" and just move on and not even to try and look for it. That sounds pretty harsh, but I immediately thought that if it is important to Tyler then it is important to the Lord. Ethan, Tyler, and myself had no idea where the the toy was but I suggested to them both that maybe we should say a prayer asking for help to find it. Tyler offered the sweetest prayer asking for help to find his new toy. All three of us went out on the hunt and Ethan found it about 3 minutes after our prayer. We again said a prayer thanking Heavenly Father that he helped us and that our prayer was answered.
This may not seem like a big deal to some people. It is huge for me. I am not accustomed to putting myself in places where I have opened up to having miracles happen daily in my life. This experience was probably one of the top 3 experiences of 2010. Come to think of it I don't even know what the other two could be for the year? I don't think it coincidence that these teaching moments are put into my life. I hope the boys learned something because I for sure did.
