Ryan's Hermit Crab, "Tiny Tim", seemed to be on his last let yesterday due to the fact that he was out of his shell and would not move. We did what most parents would do at this point, which was to prepare our son for the passing of Tiny Tim. Ryan, who refused to let Tiny Tim go, laid in his bed crying and took the matter to his Heavenly Father. When I went in to pray with Ryan before he fell asleep, he told me what he had been doing. He said, "Mom, I prayed just now, and then I started singing 'Our God is an Awesome God'. I agreed with him in prayer that God could heal Tiny Tim, but in my heart I had my doubts that God would choose to save him. Well, when Ryan woke up this morning, the first thing he did was to check to see if God had answered his prayer. AND GOD DID! Tiny Tim is safe and happy in his new shell. Ryan's face in the slide show tells it all...."We Serve An Awesome God!"

How AWESOME!!!! This little story brought me to tears of gratefulness for an AWESOME amazing Father that sees to use even the tiniest creature to show us His glory...and listens to even the request of a child over what some would consider something "trivial".
