Trapped

Visiting with my sister at her home one day, my little boy wanted a snack. I said, "There are snacks in my purse in the car, you can go grab them and bring them inside." He has done this before and so I thought nothing of it. Standing visiting back and forth for a few minutes near the front door, I had a feeling to go check on him. He had only been gone for 4 minutes, but still I thought it was necessary. Other times he gets distracted and starting jumping on her rocks or playing in her dirt. Another time I went out there and he was pretending to drive the car. I got in the car and he had pushed so many buttons while it was off that my car sounded like it was having a panic attack! Music up high, windshield wipers on, air full blast, etc. But this small venture to the car was different. 

I walked to the car to find him crying and pushing on the door over and over. He had shut the door and couldn't get it open again. He had pulled the handle but the car door was still attached. I quickly opened the door and held him close. He was so relieved that I came to find him. I kept saying over and over, "I will always come find you. I promise." As he cried, buried is head in my shoulder and as I held him close, I kept repeating, "It's ok. I will ALWAYS come to find you. I promise." He said through his tearful exhausted voice, "I was in there all day! I was so scared!" 

I am thankful for the Holy Ghost in my life and direction he sends me. He helps me and protects me daily.

We have all been trapped in a situation where we feel there is no escape. Literally or spiritually. When we feel like all hope is lost there is someone who will ALWAYS come find us. Jesus Christ, our Savior and Shepard. He is there when no one else is. When we are trapped and the door we frantically try to open won't budge, He will always find us and rescue us.

I am sorry this happened to our little boy, but yet thankful for the guidance of spiritual promptings. I am also thankful to reflect on this occasion and liken it to our Savior. I know he is real and he will ALWAYS come to our rescue. 

I can see Him hold us and say, 

"I will always come find you, I promise."
