Recently, we've had a couple of experiences where we (I) have lost something (wedding ring, temple recommend :/) and haven't been able to find them until we said a prayer to ask for help. Each time we've been able to involve Hayes in the prayers and it has been a sweet testimony builder for him as we have been able to find the things we had prayed to find soon after. Today, after not being able to find a toy he had searched and searched for, he took it upon his 4-year-old little self to kneel at the couch with no one else around and say a prayer to ask for his Heavenly Father's help. After being in the living room for awhile, he ran into my room, toy now in hand, exclaiming how he had decided to say a prayer and how Jesus had helped him find the missing toy. "It was on the counter all along!" He had the brightest smile and gave me the biggest hug. It may seem small, but I was so proud of the faith he had, to ask, knowing his prayer would be heard. It warms my heart seeing his sweet testimony grow.
"As your arms encircle your little ones, his arms are there, too."
-Mary F. Foulger
What a beautiful quote! And sweet story.
