God is still in the business of answering prayer :-)
This evening we were at the toy store, which is also a huge hunting/camping store (we could spend soooooo much money in that place LOLOL!!!). L (age 6) had taken her billfold with a $20 to buy a toy for herself. She wore these really goofy pants with no pockets, so she had to carry her billfold. She picked out 2 toys and carried the billfold between them.
When she went to pay for them, her billfold was gone.
We looked EVERYWHERE. The sweet guys at the store combed all the aisles as well. Finally I stopped L and said, "You know what, L? Let's pray." So we said a quick prayer along the lines of, "Dear God, please help us find L's billfold." Nothing fancy.
Not one minute later I hear G yell, "They found it!!!" Sure enough, one of the men looking had found it. This is his story:
I walked past the Barbies, and stopped and thought, "What was that again?" I turned around and looked back, and it was just right there.
Some would call that coincidence. But I know better. ![]()
Psalm 17:6a I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;

That is a great story!! It is too easy to get frustrated in a situation like that and not remember to pray. What a great gift to give your children!!
