Thank Heavens!

We have this family cradle. Everyone has used it for their babies, we just pass it around. I was the last to use it for Emery and then when Chani was born I didn't want her in our room, so I just put her in the crib. We had taken it apart and put it back at my parents house. My mom called the other day to ask where all the screws and other hardware were. I was sure we had left them at the house. I was just sick over it. I knew we hadn't found them when we moved, so they weren't with us unless they had been placed in a baby clothes box. I told my mom I would think about it. Well today the newest member of the Stewart family comes home from the hospital and my mom called again today to ask if I had found the bag of hardware. I told her no, but that I would think about it. I was feeling really guilty. I gathered Emery and Chani together and we said a little prayer. I was really pleading. The high councilman spoke about mighty prayer (when you really are asking for an answer) and it was one of those. I called my mom back and told her that I really didn't know where it was, but that the only place I could even come up with (which I didn't even think was a good suggestion) was the cupboard above the dryer. Can you guess what happened? Yup, the bag was there. I gathered my little ones again and we said another prayer, one of gratitude. I'm so grateful that Heavenly Father answers my prayers, even the little ones.

What a neat story. I love that you involved your kiddos -- that will be a special memory for them. And bless you, too, for recording it.
