Easter is here!

  

 Brian and I promised Megan she could get a new Build-a-bear for Easter.  She has been planning for weeks what she was going to get.  She decided she wanted the special Easter Bunny they were advertising.

Megan and I have a devotional every morning before we start school.  Today was about God answering BIG prayers.  So what is a BIG prayer to a 6 year old?  "God please help me get the bunny I want" (from Build-a-bear.)  I told her sometimes when God answers our prayers it is not the answer we want.  I used the example of the bunny she wanted.  I told her if she prays for the "bunny" and they don't have anymore then maybe God would answer her prayers in another way and she could pick an even better bunny.  So she prayed that this morning without knowing I was going to take her today to get her new "member of the family".  When we got to the workshop she looked into the bin and saw the Bunny she wanted.  She started jumping up and down and screamed "God did it!  He answered my prayers!" 

My heart leapt with joy that she had really gotten the lesson.  God can answer our prayers in a BIG way....even if they are only about bunnies!  Happy Easter Everyone!
