There are several instances in the scriptures where we are told to be like a little child. One of the reasons is because of their simple, pure faith. Case in point:
A while back Tanner was a little sick with a cold, and in his nightly prayer he asked Heavenly Father to help him get better. After his prayer I asked him if he believed that Heavenly Father would make him better. His reply ... "Of course he will". There's something to say about his body language as well in his reply because it read ... "Duh dad, what do you think ... of course he will!" Attitude aside it made me think. I knew Heavenly Father had the ability to make him better, but I wasn't totally sure Tanner would wake up 100% healthy. My faith was definitely not as simple and pure as Tanner's. It was so obvious to him that his prayer would be answered that even questioning it was just silly. Well Tanner did wake up the next day all better and I knew Heavenly Father had answered his prayer.
I'm sure I will see more of that attitude as Tanner gets older. I hope I see a lot more of that faith in prayer from him as well. It was a good example for me. Thanks Tanner.
