Limits, limits everywhere...

speed limits, age limits, height limits, time limits, weight limits,
occupancy limits, luggage limits, etc.
Thank heavens, there are no prayer limits.
I pray.
I have never prayed as hard as I did 11 days ago.
My son-in-law is tough. He is strong,
physically, mentally and spiritually.
So, when I received a heart-wrenching phone call
from him, I knew it wasn't good.
He told me that Knox was on his way to the hospital.
He couldn't tell me that he was okay.

**Knox, the day he was released from hospital, eyes were still
red, puffy, swollen w/surface scratches**
Husband & I immediately started praying.
I called my mom. She prays...
powerfully.
And my kids and siblings.
Word spread quickly through our extended family.
Prayers were offered.
Knox fought...for his life, and won.
There is a lot more to the story.
But, the bottom line:
Knox is once again healthy.
Right now I am praying for (son) Jordan
and his awesome little family, and everyone
in the path of Hurricane Sandy.
Won't you join me?
On a different **limit** note:
I think I've hit my limit in a few areas, and I don't think I'm the only one.
Blogs--I did a major purge on my Google Reader and boy, does it feel good. Now I only follow blogs that I find uplifting, inspiring, entertaining, and/or have pics and stories of those I love. Phew!
Facebook--it just doesn't interest me like it once did. Or did it really ever? I took the lead from someone I admire, and kept my number of friends to a reasonable limit. But still, the feed gets so clogged up with...you know. It's just not doing it for me. I stay connected to my kids, siblings, close friends and church friends in real life. I find these real life relationships (and Handsome Husband) so fulfilling! I admit, I mostly follow political pages etc, on FB these days.
Pinterest--I don't do it. I'm not knocking it...I see others gleaning great ideas from it. I hear it's addictive :)
Whenever I think about it...I change my mind!
Instagram--I like it because it's fast and easy and I only follow people I'm close to...so each entry has my interest. But, sometimes I go a few days without even checking or posting.
FIT TIP (#176): Pray
Numerous scientific studies have evaluated the therapeutic effects of prayer. The research has shown that people who pray regularly are less likely to become ill and that when they do, they tend to recover faster.
Not only does prayer have healing effects for the people who pray, it also benefits those who are prayed for by others.
I didn't need a study to state the obvious...but it is interesting, huh?

Matt and I never knew anything about Knox and still haven't heard the story. Poor little man! Glad he won the battle!
Aaaaaand there goes the teary eyes. Can't help it when I think about it all over again. So grateful for prayer, the priesthood, fasting, and my little fighter.
Soo many miracles!! Glad everyone is okay:) sure love my browns!!!
The power of prayer is amazing! We are so lucky to have the knowledge that the power of the priesthood and the power of prayer are real and do lead to miracles on this earth each and every day.
I have had my share of amazing miracles and endless prayers answered by our loving Father in Heaven. How grateful I am for this knowledge. And oh how I love to see the Lord's hand and Him preforming miracles in our lives.
So grateful for the Lord providing a miracle for baby Knox. I tell Hayden time and time again that he was destined for great things because of the miracles that the Savior granted for him in his infancy. It sure gives him strength to stand up for the right. Hopefully, as Knox gets older, the story of his miracle will strengthen him and give him the courage and faith to hold to the iron rod.
