Day 161, June 8

Last Sunday in Fast and Testimony meeting, a mother bore her testimony about the power of prayer.  Her family's four week old kitten had gotten lost.  Every day, the four children prayed for the kitty's safe returne.  The parents tried to be positive, but they knew the realities of the world, that the kitty had most probably been killed.

A week, then two, then three passed.  Still, the boys continued to pray, often ending their prayers with their absolute faith that Heavenly Father was watching over their pet.  At the end of the third week, the family received a call, saying that someone had found the kitten, well and unharmed.

The boys were unsurprised but joyful that their pet was all right.  The mother and father were grateful and humbled by the faith in their sons' prayers.

So, for today, I am grateful for the faith of children.
