An answered prayer

I write this blog through tears of gratitude to our Heavenly Father. TJ left tonight for a work trip, as he was leaving Will kept saying bye bye, bye bye over and over at the door. I walked outside with Will to watch daddy drive away. Upon returning to the front door I realized we were locked out and our baby Finn was locked in. I ran to the street to try and stop TJ but he was long gone. I checked the door two more times then Will and I knelt down in prayer to our Father in Heaven. I simply asked him to please prompt TJ to come back home. Within a few minutes TJ was pulling in the drive to be greeted by an emotional wife and concerned little boy. It turns out he forgot something that he didn't necessarily need to return home for but decided to come back anyway. As I explained what happened, he asked if I was surprised when I saw his car. I was not at all surprised to see him return home, we were actually waiting for him. Just another testament that God knows each one of us and our situation, he hears our prayers big and small. My faith has been strengthened beyond measure once again.

Wow...the power of prayer! I have a feeling that my husband would have been off and never looked back! I will for sure share this story with him :)

What a sweet little story! That is amazing that he came back... It is always so easy to ignore those little nagging feelings to do something. This was a great reminder to listen.. Thank you!
