Faith = Blessings

One of my favorite stories about the farm was one time our milk cow got really sick with milk fever. She was our very best cow and we depended on her for the milk, cheese and butter for our family. She was really easy to milk so mom would milk her while I did the other one which was really a jerk sometimes. Anyway she was really sick. We called the vet and he came quickly. He is a very good friend to our family. He checked her out and gave her some medicine. As he was leaving he told me that there was very little chance that she would survive the night. She couldn't even stand up. I walked into the house a few minutes later and was not just a little upset that we were loosing our very best cow. I mentioned to the family that she was really sick and that we were probably going to not have the cow in the morning. That night it was Cindi's turn to say prayer at family prayer. She was probably only three or four years old. During the prayer she asked Heavenly Father if he would make the cow better for us so that we could still get the milk from her. After she finished the prayer she said come on dad lets go see the cow. I was so afraid that when we got out there she would be dead that I didn't really want her to go with me. She insisted so out to the barn we went. To my great surprise and much greatfulness the cow was standing up feeding her calf. I learned that heavenly father listens and answere our prayers directly in proportion to our faith that he will. I am so greatful for the simple faith of a little girls prayer. Thank you Cindi. Dad
