Prayer

Today I am grateful for Prayer.

1. I have a sister that I visit teach that is extremely hard to get a hold of--no voice mail on her phone, never checks email, and almost never answers her phone. I have been praying for her and praying to be able to get a hold of her--I called and she didn't answer and as I was reading my scriptures the thought came to try again. I did, and she answered! I am grateful that my prayer was answered and she knows that the Lord loves her!

2. The Friendly Hero is sick. Due to this illness he's fighting naps and is cranky most of the day. I prayed to have patience and be able to show him that I love him, even as he screams at me and tells me "no." I felt the Lord answer my prayer, because I didn't feel upset or any frustrations with him today. I know that it was the Lord, and not me--I just don't do that normally. I am grateful for my prayer being answered and that I was able to be a good mom today and help my child feel better.
