Prayer-Try It, It works!

Last week I went with my parents and Tyson to the German concert.  On the drive home, Tyson mentioned how he was looking forward to the Motab choir concert with David Archuleta.  We had been lucky enough to get tickets.  No sooner had he said that then my cell phone rang.  It was Jamie.  She had called to give me the news that she had lost the Concert tickets....Great...  But I thought, there is still time to find them, it was 5-6 days away still.  So she looked and looked with no luck and I think she basically gave up on looking.  I told her to pray and said I would, too.  I don't know if she did or not.  But I did. 

About the same time, I lost some papers.  I went to work thinking they were in my office, no.  I thought, I must not have looked well enough at home, no, I still couldn't find them.    So it went for a few days.  I was frustrated but not too badly, because with some effort, I would be able to gather the information on the papers again.  It was just so bothersome.  But the tickets couldn't be replaced. 

Monday at about 3:00 am I woke up...my very first thought was the papers are in the hall closet on top of some recipe books.  I was too tired to get up and check so I didn't, but then my next thought was, if only I would know where to have Jamie look for the tickets.  Instantly a weird thought came to my mind.  It was to tell Jamie to look in her holiday decoration bins.  Strange thought.  But OK, I would tell her.  In the morning when I got up I went straight to the closet.  Lo and behold...yes, my papers were exactly there.  OK, I thought, I will tell Jamie to look in her holiday bins.

After work, I had to drop a check off to Jamie.  She wasn't there, only Tyson.  I gave him the check and said, Ty, tell your mom to look in her holiday bins.  He said he would and did so.  Later that evening, I walked Logan home from our home and by then Jamie was there and I mentioned to her about the bins.  She sounded like she wouldn't be doing that and she had pretty much given up on the fact of finding the tickets.  So I went home.  Nothing more I could do about it.

In the morning as she took the kids to school, Tyson asked her to check the bins.  So she agreed, OK, she would do that.  She did.  Guess what? Need I say more?  Say your prayers and have some faith.  Someone up there really is watching out for you.
