I found the lens
Hello. My name is Joseph, and I am 12 years old. Here's my story about how I prayed and helped my friend Leah.
It was a cold, cloudy, misty day, and I was running to school with my friend Isaac and his sister Leah. On the way, Leah took off her glasses so she could run faster. When she reached school, she found that one of the lenses had come out. She was very upset. So Isaac, another friend called Matt, and I went out searching for the lens in the rain. We couldn't find it anywhere. Three days later it still hadn't been found.
The next day I was walking to school, praying. I thought about God. That He was good. That for God nothing could be lost, because God was everywhere. I suddenly looked down, and there it was—the lens from Leah's glasses. I picked it up and took it to school. She was very happy that I had found it.
