Power of Prayer

Today our lesson in Relief Society was on the power of prayer. The teacher really stressed having family prayer In my mind I kept thinking of our dog Chloe. She was taken the day before I went to the hospital to have Connor. I thought for sure someone would come knocking on our door asking if she was our dog. However, that did not happen. We than moved and thought for sure we had lost her. After four weeks I hung up missing dog posters. We would definitely get a call, but that didn't happen. A couple weeks went by and I was talking to my Relief Society President from our other ward. She told me she kept trying to call me, but the phone number I kept giving her was the wrong one. That night I laid awake thinking "did I put the wrong phone number on the flyer?" I checked the flyer I saved on the computer. Sure enough the wrong number was on the flyer. That morning I decided to print out new flyers. Before we left I had the boys kneel down with me to ask Heavenly Father to help us find Chloe. The day went on. We printed the new fliers on bright pink paper. We did all we could do to find her. That very night we received a phone call from the people that had her. We were so excited!! Eric was shocked. After we arrived back home with Chloe the boys were ready for bed. When I was talking to Kade I asked him if Heavenly Father had answered prayer. He said "yes, he did". I told him we needed to thank Heavenyl Father for what he did for us. We made sure we said a prayer thanking Heavenly Father for helping us find Chloe, expecially since it had been six weeks since we lost her. I hope that Kade will remember this experience and that he will have plenty more just like it. From this I know having family prayer is important. In the future it will help us when we have problems harder than just finding a silly dog. 

Something I want to remember....At the end of Relief Society, as the prayer was being said, I looked at Kyle. He never folds his arms. He is usually walking around doing what he wants to. Today, however, he had his arms somewhat folded throughout the whole prayer. I am so proud of him!!! I really hope the boys will remember when they need help they can say a little prayer.
