Joseph and Taylor discuss experiences in teaching there children how to have faith, and in praying to God for help. There stories include great – perhaps even miraculous – experiences of encouraging their children to pray for something, and then their own time pleading with God to answer the prayer of their child.
But, realizing perhaps they should have worried so much as even an seemingly unanswered prayer can be the subject for great learning and discussion. That, at times, the best learning comes from stepping back and allowing experience to teach. It’s can be hard to appreciate at the time, but looking back we and our children will find we learned the most when something was hard.
