Pickin' Pun'kins

On Saturday we were able to take part in a charity pumpkin patch for a sweet little boy in our old ward. He is a three-year-old down syndrome boy who was recently diagnosed with Leukemia. He has an amazing family, but the financial requirements are, no doubt, overwhelming. They have great neighbors who have been growing a field full of pumpkins all summer. We found some great pumpkins to carve for Halloween and it was nice to feel like we were helping out such a fantastic family.

Our little Guy is so sensitive to other peoples difficulties. He was very concerned for Jameson and wanted to say a prayer on the way to the pumpkin patch. He asked his Heavenly Father to help Jameson feel happy and to get better. He also asked that they could get the money they needed to take care of him, and that Jameson would have nice doctors. It was such a sweet, simple prayer. He is constantly reminding me that I need to kneel in prayer. His love for his Heavenly Father humbles me and strengthens my testimony on a daily basis.
