Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Dear Ja,
I'm starting to be able to see into Heavenly Father's plan for Ben! 

I went to a ward Christmas party tonight.  The buffet tables were set up to dish up food.  The dessert table was up as well.  Ben skipped right passed the dinner tables and headed straight to the dessert table.  As I soberly observed him, he looked over all the sweets then grabbed a plate.  He cautiously approached a lady by the table and looking up at her asked (so nicely, barley audible) for a slice of cake.  Her response, I kid you not, "Oh, you're so sweet and you asked so nicely!  Here, take this piece and save it for yourself for after your dinner."  "Thank you" he mumbled.

As I watched this I had a complete humbling experience.  I felt like I was looking through Ben's eyes up to God. 

As I act upon giving everything Ben asks for (when he asks kindly) I am able to see (a touch) through our Heavenly Father's eyes.  In no way was this plan ever going to allow Ben to do whatever he wanted, or even get out of doing what he should be doing either.  That was never said or done. It is merely what our Father is asking of us to do.  He wants us to ask Him so He can give us good gifts.

No person ever thought of a child as 'spoiled' at a ward party that asked so nicely for anything. (even if the item they asked for was dessert before dinner.)

That really humbled me making me feel more like a small child in relationship to my Heavenly Father in need of (asking for, so nicely) good gifts. 
Luv, me
PS Ben walked right out of the empty closet.  No lock, no force just removal. Out of my sight was the safest he was going to be anyway.
