Our little miracle



This morning we woke to find that our baby-sitting, or rather, dog-sitting charge was gone. We are watching Lori's dog while she is on a trip. We looked everywhere, canvassed the neighbors, called the city, the humane society, the pound, animal control, you name it. We even tried to break into Lori's voicemail since her cell phone number is on the dog tag. This afternoon Annaka wanted to go out looking for Chester and so I told her that I would look where ever she told me to go. It was amazing. She told me exactly where to walk, when to turn, etc. We were walking about two blocks from our house and she told me to cross the street in the middle of the block and there he was...one house up on the other side of the street in the backyard. If we had waited until the crosswalk like I suggested, we would have missed him. It was a miracle. She knew right where he was and told me exactly where to go to find him. Just goes to show that kids are more receptive to the spirit than me. Way to go Annaka! We had a very similar situation happen with my 2nd counselor this week and bird that flew away and her 8 year old son finding it in the neighbors tree three days later, convinced that Heavenly Father would help him find it. How great would it be to have the faith of a child?? Anyway--it was amazing, thought I'd share.
