Prayer... what a blessing!

Today I am so grateful for prayer. My kids have been very into praying for everything lately and it has been such a good example to me! The primary is focusing on it this month... and I will tell you that our Primary Presidency and teachers are incredible. They have given each of the children a log to mark down if they have said their personal prayers! What a neat idea! Of course, the thing that motivates my children is knowing there will be a reward. Whatever works, I say! I'm so grateful for the wonderful village that is helping me raise my children! So today I was walking the kids to school and I said, "Well, if we can cross Hwy. 99 quickly, we will probably be to school in time." A lot of times it is very difficult to cross that street... people just don't see us to stop and let us cross. In the morning before school it's very busy on that road. So, anyway, as soon as we walked up to the Highway cars stopped on both sides to let us cross, it was wierd, that had never happened. When we got across the street, I said, "Wow, that was amazing, cars stopped on both sides and we got across without having to wait at all!" Christian looked up at me and said, "Mom, I prayed that we could get across quickly and safely." He smiled and I cried! I am so grateful for a Heavenly Father who is aware of our little family and will listen to a little boy about something so simple. He treats us like we are his favorites... and I'm so grateful for that! I'm a very grateful mother today!
