Muffin Man

Nolan has grown attached to a certain Christmas decoration this year. It's a stuffed gingerbread man with a chef outfit on. He's named it Muffin. This morning Nolan was looking all over for the misplaced muffin man. I helped him look, but we couldn't find him anywhere. Finally, Nolan said, "Mommy, maybe we should say a prayer and Heavenly Father will help us find Muffin." I was so happy that he came up with that idea all by himself. We have done that several times when a toy or something is missing and Nolan knows how well prayer works. So, Nolan said a sweet little prayer and we began searching some more. Within 5 minutes the missing Muffin Man was found! He was in Nolan's play kitchen of course, hiding in one of the doors. :) Nolan than told me we needed to say another prayer to thank Heavenly Father for helping us find Muffin. So, we did. I know Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. Even though this is such a simple example of how Heavenly Father answered Nolan's prayer, I know it'll be something that Nolan remembers and uses often.
