I do believe in Miracles


Ok the craziest thing happened this past week. A miracle really. A couple of weeks ago our family went to Mt. Charleston and did a little hiking around. We noticed once we were home that Abigail had sat down her camera and Dad's binoculars somewhere on the trail and forgot to pick them up. Abby was heartbroken. Lance debated making a trip back up there but we figured that there was no way they would still be there. It was Labor Day weekend and the trail was very busy. Bummer.

Well a week later a brother from my ward calls me and says that he has good news. He and his family decided to go on a hike(a week later than we did) and while they were hiking around they came across a camera and binoculars. He picked them up thinking he would ask around on the trail to see if anyone had lost them. If not he would see if he could find a lost-n-found. He decided to look at the pictures on the camera and there was Abby.

Coincidence, no way. What are the chances of something like this happening? First of all, that the camera was still there a week after and that the person that happens to find it knows us. Crazy! It was such a great experience for our family to be reminded of how the Lord is involved in all aspects of our lives. No matter how small.
