My Child is Learning Faith

I had to quickly write this story down before I forget any of the details. Today Thais had to have a little time-out in her room, and while in her room she locked her door from the inside. I went to the door to tell her that she could come out, and she told be that she couldn't get the door unlocked. I sat there and coached her for a while, but apparently these locks are much trickier than the ones at home, and she couldn't get it unlocked. I spent 5 or 10 minutes searching the apartment and there wasn't anything I could use to get the door open. Finally I went to the door (Thais was bawling at this point) and put my fingers under the door and said, "Thais if we are going to get the door open we are going to have to say a prayer!" She said okay, and we held hands on opposite sides of the door and said a prayer together. After we were done, I told Thais I knew she could do it. She tried turning it once and said, "mama, it's not working!" I told her it would work because we said a prayer! Finally, she tried again, and the door opened right up. We prayed again and Thais said, "Heavenly Father thank you I can open the door and I can do it!" Stories like this make my heart happy because that is exactly how faith is built. I have learned that God is in the tiny details of our lives, even when we just need to open a door.
