"My Little Prayer"
 

Heavenly Father, I am grateful
For your eternal presence
I am learning to be patient
And that you are really there
 
Sometimes I am afraid
And I know that's lacking faith
But I'm beginning to understand
That for me you have a plan
 
Heavenly Father, I am grateful
For you sending your son
To die so that I live
And for never giving up
 
I'm learning everyday
That I won't always have my way
But I'm beginning to understand
That for me you have a plan
 
Heavenly Father, I am grateful
For you hearing my prayer
I am learning to be patient
And that you are really there
 
There are answers I'm receiving
No, they're not always immediate
Sometimes I have felt defeated
That's when I kneel down in prayer
 
You show me you hear my prayer
I'm amazed by how you care

Cause you hear
My little prayer 

My Little Prayer

As a school teacher, I get many pictures, art projects, notes, etc from my students. After the elections, one of my 5th grade students brought me one of these "home-made" projects. It was a bracelet with a heart on it. I thought it was just another "gift" from one of my students. However, she quickly let me know that she had made this to remind me and others that amid all the chaos and turmoil that was a result of the elections, we needed to remember to love and care about others. I was touched by her childlike solution to the troubles of the world. No wonder the Savior on many occasions admonished us to "become as a little child."

I feel blessed to live in this country that was carefully and purposefully organized by men wrought upon by the spirit of God. We can move past these elections, with love in our hearts as we unite in purpose.

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks...

Nov 13: Missing Istanbul tonight...

...And my dear family there!
