"I Like Hearts"

"I Like Hearts"
by Bailey Lyman

I like hearts because some are pink.
I like hearts because they are pink.
It is my favorite color.
I like hearts. Who has a heart?
People have hearts.
They have to love each other.
Thats how hearts work.
The End.

Small miracles

Saturday the kids and I went and picked out a lamb for Crystal's 4-H project this year. She picked out this beauty she named Coco.

To enter a ewe at the fair, they are required to have a scrapies tag to verify that they have been vaccinated for the disease. Well, Sunday night it snowed and when I went out Monday morning to do my chores there was blood all over the snow. Coco's tag had been ripped from her ear. (I'm pretty sure one of the goats grapped it and pulled it through the fence.) So I called the guy who is coming out to tag her for the fair next week and told him my perdicament. He didn't think it would be a problem as long as I could find the tags. No problem I thought, I'll just wait for the snow to melt and they'll be easy to see. Well it didn't work out that way. I looked and I searched and I looked some more. Nothing. A few weeks ago I taught my primary class of 5 year olds about prayer and how Heavenly Father hears and answers our righteous prayers. It really was a great lesson about a simple basic truth. Well, I did just what I taught those 5 year olds to do. I had done my part. There was no where else to look. If I kept my eyes open, I believed they would turn up.


This morning as I walked to the front of the house I noticed what looked like a bit of paper on the lawn. Yeah well I'm sure you guessed it already. It wasn't paper, it was the tags which I had been desperaly searching for the last 2 days. Because they had some blood on them Cisco had found them and ended up dropping them right in my path. I know, I know, its not some hugely amazing thing. But moments like these are what testify and remind me that I do have a Heavnly Father who knows the desires of my heart and that when I pray he listens.
Alma 37:6-7
Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise. And the Lord God doth work by means to bring about his great and eternal purposes; and by very small means the Lord doth confound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls.
