A Missing Piece of Paper

HEAVENLY FATHER ANSWERS PRAYERS!!!
My heart if full of gratitude right now. I have had another prayer answered. I am filled with awe each time it happens. It is not that I don't believe my prayers will be answered because I do or I wouldn't ask. It is that my heart is touched as I realize I really am known. Heavenly Father knows who I am and what I need AND he cares enough to answer my pleas for help. I am writing this down because I want to share my gratitude to the Lord. He is so wonderful and I love him so much. Here are the details of what happened:

On my list of "things to do" today was to e-mail directions to our office to a potential client. I wrote his information on a scrap piece of paper at the end of the day yesterday. When I went to send the e-mail this morning and discovered the paper missing. I looked high and low. I went through my garbage can thinking I had tossed it accidentally. I had a prayer in my heart to find it but didn't stop specifically and ask. I asked McKay and Dad to help me look around the office for it, thinking I had moved it somewhere else in the office. I then began to think it got mixed up in the paperwork of the last file I had open last night. Bottom line, I searched took a break, searched and took a break, etc for hours. I was feeling sick about it because I made a commitment to send this potential client an e-mail today.

At about 3pm I decided I needed to take this to Heavenly Father. I knew he knew where it was and would lead me to it or help me find another way to connect with the potential client. So I bowed my head and poured out my heart. I described the paper, where I had last seen it, the fact that I had other files by it and asked Heavenly Father to help me remember each paper and file that was by it yesterday and help me retrace my steps so I could find it. As I spoke the "Amen" to my prayer, I remembered exactly (as if I was watching a moving) the last papers I had in that area. I went to the drawer where I put them last night and there sticking to the back of one of them was my lost scratch paper!

I immediately was overcome with the emotion of gratitude and offered a prayer of gratitude. I know with all of my heart that Heavenly Father hears and answers prayers. I am so GRATEFUL for this gift of communication he has given us.
