THE POWER OF ASKING

We went to the beach and what a grand site. I have always loved the ocean, the sound of the waves and the power they possess is overwhelming to me. As I stated earlier this is a first for our family to be at the beach just the 3 of us. As we were walking down the shore looking at all the shells...Raven began to tell Logan about sand dollars, there were so many broken pieces but not a complete to be found. So as I walked along i said a silent prayer to the Lord above just asking for him to show me one, so that Hot Rod could have one. Last time I found was in 2000, when Raven and I went. So I am walking along and looking and waiting.....Rave says come on lets turn around and head back. So I turn thinking I should not I must keep looking but I turn and take no more than 10 steps and what do I see......yep a complete sand dollar about the size of a 50 cent piece. I pick it up and take to Hot Rod and say Thank you Lord for answering that prayer. I tell Logan that we may not go to church but I do not know how people can say there is not a God... I share the story with Raven and Logan with tears swelling in my eyes for now I have found for each of them a complete sand dollar....it was a great day walking on the beach with my family.
