Thankful for my many blessings.

I was going through my phone today as I was waiting for Nikolai's bus and came across this picture of him two years ago and wanted to share how thankful I was for Heavenly Father's love. Nikolai had taken a bad fall on his bike on the way home from school, rode the handle bars down and face planted on the pavement. Needless to say I totally freaked out and the presence of another grownup was required to calm me down enough so I wouldn't freak him out. He requested a blessings which stated that he would be healed by his faith. Later that I night I was worrying out loud about whether or not his face would scar. With complete faith he said, "Don't worry, Mommy, I had a blessing, it will be just fine." And it was. The scab fell off miraculously two days later to reveal a completely healed face. He has one tiny scar the size of his pinkie nail on the lower corner of his eye that you can only see in the summer when he is very tan. I am very glad that Heavenly Father healed him requisite to HIS faith and not mine. My little 7 year old boy taught me a great lesson that week about relying on Him and I am so thankful today for all the blessings we have been given, including Nikolai's intact face.
