I was talking with Mike last week about my concerns in our new location. Chris is the only active Aaronic Priesthood boy in our city. He has a few friends within a 30 minute drive, which makes frequent contact difficult. My children do not attend school, so finding local friends has been difficult, adding in the fact that we live in a duplex and apartment area without a lot of older kids. For Nayna, we have a few young women for her locally, but the majority of her friends are also 30 minutes away.
The very next day after discussing my concerns with my husband, the calls started coming. The kids were invited to a movie, Chris was invited to a birthday party, a concerned new friend asked to help us with our truck repair problem, and so on, and so on. Neither Mike nor I spoke with anyone about our concerns...other than with the Lord. I know that He heard our concerns and answered our prayers about what we can do to increase social contact for our family.
I still don't know the answers to all our issues, but I do know that Heavenly Father is aware of us and our needs. It seems such a small thing for Heavenly Father to be concerned about. And yet...I am so thankful that He is.
I love answers to prayer you don't always voice. I'm thankful to a Heavenly Father who is ever watchful also. Thanks for sharing.
