When Grandma Jo was taking care of her sister, Edith, when Edith way dying.....Edith was so thirsty, but mom couldn't get her to sit up enough to drink from a cup--because Edith was in too much pain. Mom went to her drawer where she keeps a few straws, looked all the way through, but could only find straight straws. She tried holding the cup down, bending the straw, etc., but nothing would work. Now, mom doesn't live in a place where you can run to an all night Walmart and buy some straws with those flex bend spots in them. Edith was so miserable and so thirsty. Mom prayed for just one bendable straw for the comfort of her sister. She went back out to the same drawer, and there, sitting right on top was ONE bendable straw. Mom knows it was not there before. A direct, and tangible answer to her prayers. And--it worked, and Edith was able to get a moments peace, which was such a comfort. A true, modern day miracle.Saturday, July 26, 2008

That's a nice story. I think we should share more of those moments with others in our family.
What a wonderful witness of Heavenly Father's love for us. I know that He truly does hear and answer our prayers.
Lance had one of those prayers this morning when he went looking for his phone and could not find it. He prayed and immediately remembered that it was in the van. The other miracle is that it was not stolen out of the van during the night!
What a neat experience. Heavenly Father knows what everyone needs and when... it's amazing!
