A few weeks ago we were having family night and we talked about prayer. We talked about how we thank Heavenly Father for things that he has given us and we can also ask for things that we need. Two days later:
Daniel had some new rain boots and had been wanting some big puddles to jump in. It finally sprinkled but there wasn't enough rain to make big puddles. Despite the lack of puddles - when we got ready to go to the library he put on his rain boots anyway. In the car Daniel says to me – “Mom I need more rain puddles! I need to ask Jesus for some rain.” I was glad that he had made the connection to our family night lesson and said “Oh, are you going to say a prayer?” He said “No – I’m just going to ask him...” then he paused and said “Jesus – I need more rain ... See mom – I just asked him!”
Sure enough - on the way home from the library it was raining buckets! We went home and he was able to splash to his hearts content! I was so glad I got a picture of him splashing away with that look of pure joy on his face.

Simple faith. I'm always amazed with how much of it children have.
