The faith of a Child

The other day it was almost time for school and we were still searching for Shane's Shoes. They were going to the pool and they needed to where sandals they could get on and off easily.(Can't blame a kindergarten teacher with 30 students for that!) So we had looked everywhere and still no shoes. Shane says, "mom why don't we say a prayer". I have to admit that when I agreed that I really didn't know if it were possible since we only had about 2 min.tell we had to leave and we had searched everywhere already. I didn't even slow down my search long enough to realise Shane had said a prayer without me. As I am frantically looking he said something like, " we will find them now mom I had a Prayer." I was very happy that he had the faith and had done it all on his own. Right after he said that the thought came to me to go check around the trampoline one more time. Sure enough after one circle around the tramp and I had, count them, 2 matching sandals that belonged to Shane!
I had to admit that I felt a little silly for doubting. I hope that Shane will remember this time and remember to pray when he needs help! I know I sure learned a thing or to that day!
