"For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him" (1 Sam. 1:27)
You may (or may not) know, but when we found out that I was pregnant, I was excited and surprised. From that moment forward, every night during my night time prayers I would say, "I am so grateful to be pregnant, and if it be thy will, please grant me a tender mercy and let my child's eyes be blue" (or something to that effect). I know you are not suppose to have repititous prayers, but I sincerely wanted this seemly insignificant wish. I have deep brown eyes and Matt has hazel eyes, so the odds were not favorable, but I knew that Heavenly Father is a God of miracles.
And because of tender mercies I have this to look at everyday.
Everytime I look at his blue eyes I am reminded that God really does hear and answer our prayers... however insignificant they may seem to other people or the world.
