My 4 1/2 year old little girl Harley is taking swim lessons this week at an Edmond city pool. Monday morning was overcast and stormy which caused the first day to be cut short. She was disappointed BUT a good sport about it all.
Last night at bed time she prayed asking God to "help it not rain tomorrow". She wanted to enjoy the full blown swim lesson experience. And guess what, it was a beautiful sunny day.
This evening as we were hanging around the house, playing in the backyard and enjoying some family time...Harley began to tell me about swim lessons. Her eyes lit up as she remembered her prayer from the night before. "I ASKED GOD TO HELP IT NOT RAIN TOMORROW AND IT DIDN'T RAIN...IT WAS MY FIRST TIME."
Harley was aware that God was listening to her prayer AND that God was aware of her desires AND that God was in active in her life.
Childlike faith...
And in that moment I thanked God for loving my little girl far more than I could ever love her! She has the best Father I could ever want for her.
And so do you...
Pray today.
Open your heart.
Speak out a desire.

Greetings from Wisconsin. Just wanted to tell you this post was very encouraging.
What an awesome example our children can be! So simple and so true!
Joshua, hope you're doing well in Wiconson! Is the cheese really good there? :)
Tough to know when you're lactose intolerant. Basically, it hurts as much as Oklahoma cheese.
Awesome! Harley's story PROOVES the Joy of God's Mercy.
very cool.
of course my first thought was, and if it had rained she could have ended up an atheist.
