Two years ago I got stung by some bees in a pumpkin patch

Two years ago I got stung by some bees in a pumpkin patch. They were inside my shirt. I went to the car with my mom. She got them out of my shirt. She told me that if I could stop crying even though the stings hurt, then I would be able to hear God's thoughts. We talked about how God's creatures don't hurt one another.

Mom and Dad prayed for me in the car while we drove to a restaurant for lunch. I stopped crying and listened to God. I knew He was taking care of me and I was all right. By the time we got to the restaurant, the pain had stopped and I was happy. When I went to bed that night, we didn't see any sting marks. My whole family was grateful because we'd seen God's care. Especially me.
