This story reminded me of when our neighbor Charlie had lost his key in a field near our pond. He asked his three daughters and I to look for them. With complete confidence I felt I would find them. It could be anywhere but I paced back and forth and there it was his keys! He did not display thankfulness in the way I felt he should but I felt happier that I was the one that found them! Having complete confidence. I often think back to that time because its as if I can apply that in everything I do but its really when Allah (swt) makes it happen.
