Prayers- You can't have it all

In the past few months I have recommited myself to

nightly prayers and amazingly I have been able to keep it

up for a while now. Last night in my prayers I said 2 phases

that I say every night. "bless the girls to sleep well"

and "bless our family to be safe".
Sometimes in order for one request to be granted

another must be denied.
At about 4am this morning Penny came into our room
which means I must have forgot to close her door.

I was irrate that she was up and thought "I know

I included 'sleep well' in my prayers tonight."

Either way I talked to her for a little bit
and then asked kory to take her back to bed.

When he opened our bedroom door he said that Lila

was crying. then I get up and say the monitor must be off

because I can't hear her.
Kory walks over to check the monitor and finds this.





We had the alarm clock, heater, and the monitor into

this extention cord. It was so hot to the touch that it

burned me when I tried to unplug the heater.

The heater and the clock were both still running
thats why we didn't know it was having problems.

The scary thing is that within an hour it would have

caught fire and it was sitting less
than 2 feet from Addy's bed. If it had caught fire

it's likely that her bed could have been on fire before

we woke up. We are so blessed for a Heavenly Father

who knows better
than I do. I am so grateful!
