The faith of a child

Around Easter time, we each received a card and a little money from my sister…all except Evan. Ellie's card had $5 in it, so he was quite distressed about not getting his. Time went on, and he didn’t forget. He kept wondering if it would ever come. Finally he starting begging us to give him the money…”it just isn’t fair”. One day after we’d heard enough, Kevin told him to talk to Jesus about it. So he stopped right there and prayed. As he did, I must admit that I wasn’t feeling much faith. Enough time had passed that I was sure it was lost for good.

Just a couple of days later I opened the mailbox and there was the letter! I couldn’t believe it! I thanked God for being so good to our trusting Evan. And I was reminded to ask more and believe.

As you can see, the card went all the way to the Caribbean Island of Grenada before traveling to Granada, Spain.

Jesus sure does care about every big or Little thing in our lives, and we're sooo happy that He answered Evan's prayer!!
