I loved the quick responses when I sent out a quick prayer request to our children last night when Cerwin discovered that he was missing a hearing aid:
“Aww. Will do.”
“Oh, dear! Praying that he finds it.”
“Oh, crap!”
“Oh no, sending prayers.”
Cerwin was concerned that he had trouble understanding a question I asked and reached up to his right ear to make sure the hearing aid was in correctly. That is when he discovered it was missing.
He quickly searched around the la-zee-boy where he was sitting. Then, because he had been cleaning the lawnmower after supper, he supposed it was in that area. We could not find it.
I helped a bit, then went to bed.
He came and told me that he will look more in the morning, then came to the living room to watch a hunting program. When he picked up his laptop and opened it to do some research, he found the hearing aid laying on the computer keys.
He quickly came to the bedroom with his praise report.
I’m not sure which prayer request got to the Lord, but we are thankful he found it. 🙂
It would be fun to know how it got on the laptop keys. It was probably loosened when he worked on the lawnmower and fell out when he prepared to move the laptop from his lap to the table. He always closes the laptop before putting on the light stand beside him.
We will never know, but praise the Lord that it was not buried in lawnmower grass.
Isn’t the privilege of prayer to the Creator of the Universe a wonderful thing? Glad the answer came so promptly. 🙂
It sure is a privilege.
