I recently finished reading aloud to my youngest grandson, Alex, the sweet and gentle story of Heidi by Johanna Spyri. What a delightful book. Can you believe that I have almost reached the age of 60 without ever reading this classic!
To her friend Klara, Heidi says, "We ought to pray to the dear Lord every day. Then He will know that we do not forget that we receive everything from Him. If we do not receive what we would like, we must not think the dear Lord has not listened, and stop praying, but we must pray like this: 'Now I know, dear Lord, that You have something better in store, and I will be glad that You will be so good to me.'"
Out of the mouths of babes!
