A NOT SO SIGNIFICANT PRAYER REQUEST

I know that my concern today isn't nearly as important as a lot of other needs in the world. In fact, I kinda feel silly even asking for prayer. But as I was thinking this over, something came to mind.

.

Many times my kids come to me with big needs...like little Miss M getting stung by some flying critter in the barn this morning or a child hurting because they've been rejected by peers.

.

But a lot of times their needs are small and easily fixed...like needing help putting on their sandals or 4 year old T not being able to find his falling apart stuffed animal Ki-Kat.

.

So with that in mind, I figured that though its not the end-of-the-world kind of need, that God probably cares about it, too. Not because its of international importance, but because its important to me and He loves me...passionately and extravagantly.

.

For that reason, I'm right now coming like a little child and asking God to help us find our camera. We've got an important family event going on this afternoon, tonight, and tomorrow. I'll be awfully sad if we can't document it with pictures.

.

And like a little child, I'm asking y'all to please join with us in praying for this lost possession. I'm 99% sure its in the house...just a matter of finding it among the still-too-much-stuff.

.

Thanks.
