The Miracle of the hands

You know what happens when you peel 250 bananas? Your hands get stained- and look much like an auto mechanic working in a grease pit. Well that's what happened to me. I peeled the bananas to freeze them to make frozen bananas to use at a private sale for my work. My hands looked awful. I tried scrubbing and scrubbing to no avail. I went to bed Friday night and woke up with yep- darkened stained hands. I tried scrubbing again with cleanser- this time I got a little off my fingers, but my palms were still stained bad. I thought- "what will I do, I'm supposed to work in the temple today"? So finally I kneeled down and prayed to Heavenly Father. I told Him that I had tried everything to get clean hands and needed clean hands to work in the temple today. I decided to leave it with Him to decide whether I could work in the Temple today or not. I went about my morning and forgot about my hands. About 3:00 p.m. I decided to go upstairs and get ready for the temple. As I started the water in the tub, I noticed my hands. They were completely clean. I was totally amazed and knelt down and thanked Heavenly Father for giving me clean hands to work in the Temple that day.

hey family I have a blog- now when Rachael Ane teaches me how to put photos on I'll get to that part too. Love you all. Grams
