Prayer

I know there is power in prayer. I know that Heavenly Father loves us-that He is aware of us during our life here on earth. That the things that matter to us really do matter to Him. I also know that we are here to grow and to learn and to become what He wants us to become. I don't really believe in coincidences...I really think that everything happens for a reason. I have always wondered why we have relationships-deep ones like marriage and family and good friends...more distant ones like great neighbors and people we see in passing. I know we have an impact on eachothers lives, that we can grow thru eachothers trials and become something better than we ever imagined during our journeys. Heavenly Father is always there to guide us. We know a family from our old ward who have a son who has fought a very long battle with cancer. He is darling...he is Shay's age. They found out yesterday that his leukemia is back and they are bringing him home to spend some time with him during his last little while on earth. I can't imagine what they are feeling-my heart breaks for his mom because I am a mother and because I think the world of her. Please keep the DuVal family in your prayers...I know they need all of the strength and faith that they can get.
