FAITH & FOOTBALL

Sunday, February 6 2011

Thomas family is sitting in church and enjoying the testimonies being shared during Sacrament meeting. Suddenly, Bowen stands up and walks to the podium very courageously. He confidently shares his testimony to all in attendance. Wow and without any prodding from his mother, that was a surprise. He marches back to the pew and says to his overjoyed mother, "I did it." "Yes you did!" Mom was a little tearful. You know how mothers are when they feel a tender mercy from our Lord and when they experience a moment of sweetness from their boys.

A few minutes later Bowen whispers in his mother's ear, "I prayed and I promised to share my testimony today if Heavenly Father will let the Steelers WIN the Superbowl." Mother's response...."uuuuum," pretty much speechless.

Nonetheless, the Steelers did not win the Superbowl that day and Bowen and his mother learned alot about answers to prayers, faith, football, testimonies, our Father in Heaven and sweet moments.
