God Hears and Answers Prayers

Last Saturday was a beautiful, sunny day so we decided to go fishing together as a family.  Eric has already gone fishing several times this summer with just Lily and Caleb but unfortunately has caught nothing.  Both Lily and Caleb were pretty skeptical about fishing since past experiences have been fruitless so I suggested we pray before daddy started fishing.  Caleb offered a short prayer thanking Heavenly Father for the sunshine and good weather and asking him to bless daddy to catch a fish.  Well Heavenly Father heard that prayer (and has sense of humor) cause not 5 minutes later Eric caught a fish.

I can never get all my kids to smile at the camera at the same time.

The fish, as you can see, was small, a little too small to keep so we threw it back into the ocean but it was a testament to us and our kids that God hears and answers his children's prayers...next time we'll have to be a little more specific on the size and number of fish we would like to catch :)
