Faith In Every Footstep

There is always a lesson to be learned and today was no different.  Let me share an experience that touched my heart.
Our oldest daughter, Natalie, spent some time up in the night ill.  Becky and I didn't hear her at all in the downstairs bathroom.
Becky and I had no idea that she had been up until she told us this morning.  She questioned whether to stay home from school.  There really wasn't that option, today.  She asked my opinion and I thought back on the many times in my life, for many different reasons, I have gotten little sleep.  I told her that she needed to go to school and that I would give her a blessing of strength and that she needed to exercise faith that she would have the strength that she needed to make it through the day. 
I wondered how her day had gone.  When I got home from work, I asked her how her day had gone.  She smiled and told me that it had gone well.  She expressed her gratitude to Becky and I for teaching her about faith.  She was thankful that she had learned a valuable lesson today on faith. 
I love when a lesson is learned.  It's been another great day of learning.
