I am perplexed. I want to give my children what they want to the point that I have considered some pretty greuling feats, then my ideas turned to first my husband, but I did not want to burden him in anyway, so I thought of my parents. Maybe, I could ask for my Christmas gift early in cash. I even looked into selling everything I owned but, then, I had a realization. Didn't I have a heavenly father who owns everything anyway and he tells me to ask if I need anything. It would be like asking someone for a ride who is headed in my direction anyway.
It feels harder to ask but the giver will not consider it an imposition at all, in fact in the case of the ride as well as well as prayer, the one being asked is actually very happy and wants to help, to feel needed is an awesome gift to give someone.
But, I also thought that if I truly trusted in my God that I would have the peace of knowing that whatever happens it will be best, like not being able to buy the expensive things they really want, I would be able to tell them that Heavenly Father knew best what they needed and apparently he did not think they really needed that, but has provided the best gift, not the wanted one necessarily.
