A little Prayer was answered.

Tonight, I was sitting at the table with my kids, feeding my 1 year old... and my 3 year old... because he didn't want to eat his food. I have to make sure he gets SOME nutrients.

While I was sitting there I began to feel so-o tired I actually started dozing off. I thought to myself "I can't fall asleep" I still have my kids to take care of. But My body was shutting down. I was so tired.

 I could make myself sound good by saying I was tired because I stayed up all night taking care of my kids and then worked myself to death cleaning house, taking care of kids and doing all that awesome mommy stuff...but that wouldn't be true.

Really, I stayed up until 4 in the morning trying to figure out glitches on THIs blog.

Yeah. I know. Really reputable thing to do.  I won't be doing that again. NOt a wise choice.

So anyway, back to the story. I was falling asleep and in my desperation to stay awake I said a little prayer "please help me to stay awake"...so what happened? I fell asleep of course!

But only for a moment because two little angels came to answer my prayer. Suddenly I felt my little abby pulling on a huge chunk of my hair as hard as she could. She was yelling at me as she did this.  Of course, I began to wake up but still hadn't opened my eyes. Then, seconds later, I heard a loud voice (which I could tell was coming from the computer) proclaiming the great benefit that women are, their divine attributes and their influence in the world and in the home, especially as mothers. My wonderful son had pushed play on the latest general conference address (which I had been listening to earlier).
With all of the noise and hair pulling and, lastly, with the motivating words about Mothers' I was able to muster up the strength to stand up, clean up the dinner table and...guess what? I'm still awake. It's 10:36 p.m.

That is my little blessing. Just before standing up from the dinner table, I said a little thank you to God for answering my simple prayer through my sweet angel children. I always enjoy seeing how God really is a part of the intricate details of our lives.


Later...I will talk about the miracle of "tithing". Our cute little story that happened today.

But for now.
I'm going to bed.
