Yesterday, After much pleading, I finally let Miles play out front without my supervision. I made it very clear where he was allowed to play and wasnt allowed to play. I would check on him once in a while and we was always happily playing and paying attention to where he was playing and staying withing the "boundaries". While I was doing the dishes, I felt a distinct impression to "go get miles NOW!" I thought to myself, No, he is fine, just playing and he has been doing great and following the rules. I felt the impression again "GO GET HIM NOW!!!". So stopped what I was doing and with soap all over my hands I ran to the door to check on him. When I opened the door, he was facing me with his back towards the street. Some guy who I have never seen before was approaching him and when he heard the door open he quickly turned around and started walking away very fast.
I dont know what that guy was doing and I do not know what his intentions were in approaching Miles. However, I am eternally grateful for the Lord for blessing me with the spirit and in turn keeping my Miles safe(and grateful that I listened!!!) I love this boy so much and he makes me laugh everyday....and he makes me crazy every day too!!!
Here is a recent pic of him. He is definately all boy!!!! Yes that is mud...he actually came in from playing outside quite clean compared to other days....

umm...scary! It's so sad that you even have to worry about things like that! I am glad that everything is okay!
Gotta love evidence that the H.G. is a whole lot more than our own minds making things up. Thanks so much for sharing that story.
what a scary and also awesome story. i am glad you listened and i am glad he is okay.
oh my the things that you go through being a parent is crazy.
What a blessing to have the Holy Ghost! I am paranoid to leave my children out in the front yard alone!! We need to get our backyard finished so they can run and play. All boys need a little dirt and outside time everday!!
scary!! I am glad you listened and glad that Miles is okay. It's humbling to know that we are being watched over ALWAYS.
No way! That is really scary, but also a neat story to tell Miles forever - about how much Heavenly Father loves and protects him. It's a great reminder to me that moms have power to keep their kiddos safe.
