I am thankful that I have a Heavenly Father that listens to me.  He answers my prayers.  Sometimes it doesn't feel like he has answered my prayer but by the end of the day I realize that my prayer has been answered just not as I had expected.  I told Greta on Saturday that I knew she would do a great job and that she would be okay at the Horse Interview because I had said a prayer that she would be and that Heavenly Father always answers my prayers.  She was okay and she did do great.  After the Triathalon Madison heard me and Greta talking about my prayer being answered that all would go well for her.  Madison then told me that she had fasted that Chase, Josh, Ginger and I would be safe and do well at the Triathalon.  That means so much to me.  We all were safe and performed to our best ability.  The unity I saw in our family this weekend meant so much to me.  I realized something was off with Madison on our way home and it wasn't til we got home and she finally ate and told me she was fasting that I realized how hard that had been for her.  I appreciated it so much!!  Paul though mentioned that no one had prayed for his back to get better.  I realized that no I hadn't and felt awful, even though he was teasing.  I did pray that night, that his back would feel better and that he would get the work done he needed to do so that he could go on Madison boating party with us tomorrow.  He did get his work done and his back does feel better.  I am so thankful tonight for answered prayers.  Tomorrow I have to tell Madison how much it meant to me for her to fast for us.
