Revelation Sunday

It was a Sunday of revelation for me. In the middle of sacrament meeting today, I realized that a prayer had been answered. Last week, I asked Heavenly Father to touch the hearts of those in our ward regarding Richard--that someone would realize that he hasn't been there and reach out to him. That prayer was answered yesterday when our friends brought over the pie and ice cream as a bribe to get him to come to church. (And, by the way, it worked! Yay!)

So then Suzanne gave me a copy of this book:
There were so many little things in there that touched me or turned on a light bulb for me. One of the strongest concerned prayer. That I can pray for specific things. I can be grateful for what we have, but I can still ask for more. It's okay to do that. How did I not know that before? I was already thinking along those lines and then to have it confirmed in this book. Hmmm....

So I hope that I can take what I learned and felt today and keep it with me as the week starts back on Tuesday. Tomorrow's a holiday and a day off school. I hope we can have a good day--and I plan to do my part to make it a good day. And I will pray specifically for the things we need. And I will thank Suzanne and tell her (or maybe I'll just let her read this) that her husband's idea to bring food to Richard as a bribe was not just some hare-brained idea. It was an answer to a prayer. Thank you.
