The Still Small Voice

This morning the boys were riding their bikes in the parking lot because I was trying to teach Jake how to ride his bike without training wheels (which he picked up very quickly). It was late enough in the morning that people had left for work, so I wasn't particularly worried about cars. I was out there with them, holding on to Jake at first, but it didn't take long for him to not need me anymore. Cameron and Jake started having races from in front of our house to the speed bumps where we had been practicing riding to. Just past the speed bumps there is a curve in the road and then more speed bumps. I was fine with them doing it at first but then I decided I should tell them to stay on the side opposite where an oncoming car would be coming. Of course the whole time we had been out there not a single car had come by. All of a sudden I felt a very strong impression to tell the boys to come and ride the other direction from our house. They obeyed immediately and raced over to where I was. Not twenty seconds later a UPS truck came whizzing around the corner and over the speed bumps. I immediately recognized the blessing I received from listening to the still small voice. I called Cameron and Jake over and talked with them about what had happened and how the prompting I had received came from the Holy Ghost. They were in total awe as I told them about it (especially because they saw how fast that truck came!). I know they felt the Spirit as we talked about it. I am so thankful for the guidance of the Spirit in our lives and the protection we can have if we follow its promptings. Just last night we were talking about how we could feel the Spirit in our family because we had all been treating each other kindly and helping one another. I'm so thankful for that!
