Me and Jesus found it


OK this is just a quick story about something that happened to us a few days ago.

My brother has been staying with us and working with my husband. He got paid one friday and cashed his check. He left the money in his pants pocket. The next morning, my oldest went and got his laundry to wash it for him. She didn' t check the pockets and washed and dried the cash. When he went to get his clothes out, his freshly washed and dried green was all over the dryer! He gathered up the money and began to count, it was $100 short! One bill, a 100 dollar bill, was missing. He really needed that money. We looked everywhere, in pockets of all the pants that made the cycle, in the washer, in the pipes leading out the dryer, in the filter, everywhere. No money. I told him about St. Anthony and said a prayer myself.

He had to leave for a few days to see his family, we continued the search. Then, the Sunday after mass, I was cleaning in the classroom when my 2 year old comes running in yelling "Mommy, mommy, me and Jesus found it." I asked her what, and in her tiny little hand was a crumpled $100 bill!!!! I said "how did you get this?" Her reply was simple and true, "me and Jesus found in the living room, mommy, we found Dean's money!"

Praise God!!! He used my little one.
