I got to the school about 20 minutes late. She was sitting on a bench by the office. All I saw were her feet. Then she leaned forward, saw me, and came running down the hall.
"I was just about to cry, but then I saw you."
Later that afternoon, Eliza was explaining to Clayton was happened. She told him that she followed a teacher to the office and watched for us out the window hoping we would come.
"Then I said a prayer that you could come soon and I looked up and Mommy was walking down the hall."
I am so amazed at the way her prayer was answered - the timing was perfect and I hope that she will remember that the Lord truly answers prayers.
Poor baby. Caleb and I got mixed up once and I felt so bad. Someday I am going to have to get used to the fact that I am not a perfect mom. It's a bitter pill to swallow because I hate letting them down. It helps a lot to know that they have a perfect Father watching over them.
ReplyDeleteThat is really neat. It is nice to have the comfort of prayer when you are in a scary situation like that.
ReplyDeleteEmily - this is adorable!!! I hope you gave yourself a big reward for being such an amazing parent. My computer won't let me see the most recent video but hopefully i will see it soon.
ReplyDeleteI love the sweet faith of children. Too bad we lose it somewhere along the way.
