More Deep Thinking

Two more questions from our Miss B today.  First question, "Mom, did Jesus have any children?"  We just don't know.  It says nothing in the scriptures, so we don't know.

Second question, "How does Heavenly Father answer prayers?"

We had an answer for this one and an example for Blythe herself.  We were all in the car together when she asked this one, so Kent was able to offer some input too.  I told Blythe that Heavenly Father will sometimes tell us things in our minds, and sometimes he will send other people to help us if we are praying for help.  We can be Jesus' hands, a concept they have talked about in Primary.  Recently, Lily, the granddaughter of my friend Ramona, came to stay with her for several months.  Lily's family is moving to South Korea at the beginning of April, so Lily was enrolled in school, but she didn't want to go.  Their family has been moving around a lot, living in France and then Singapore, and Lily was unhappy about the idea of having to go to yet another school.  She knows Blythe, and her mom requested that Lily be in the same class as Blythe.

The day before Lily was to start school, her mom called me and asked if Blythe could walk with them to school because otherwise, Lily wasn't going.  Blythe was the inducement to get Lily out the door.  Blythe agreed that would be great, and happily met them at the door when they stopped by to collect her.  I got a report that Blythe talked to Lily all about school the whole walk there (maybe five or six minutes), then took her into class, showed her the cubbies, where to wash hands, where to sit on the carpet, introduced her to people, and then, throughout the day, showed Lily the ropes.  She was the friend that Lily needed on that day, and Lily's mom has expressed to me several times since how grateful she was/is for Blythe's help.  To quote Ryan (Lily's mom), "Never have I felt such love and gratitude for another person's child as I have felt for Blythe."

I explained to Blythe that she had been the answer to Lily and Lily's parents' prayer.  Lily needed a true friend and her parents asked Heavenly Father for direction and help and He sent Blythe.  She didn't know it, but she is one of Heavenly Father's children He sent to help another of His children.  She positively beamed as we praised her good efforts.

I'm interested in what Blythe will ask next.
