Watch The Lord is My Shepherd

The Ingalls family is delighted by the birth of a new baby boy, Charles Fredrick Ingalls. Unfortunately, Laura becomes jealous and refuses to pray for her new brother's good health. Mercifully, Laura's prayer is answered when the young boy dies soon afterward, and Laura is crushed with guilt. Following a sermon by Reverend Alden about miracles, she decides to run away and pray for a miracle. Believing that her late brother meant more to her father than herself, she pledges herself to God on a mountain offering to take his place in Heaven so that the baby may come back to life. With the help of a heaven-sent stranger (Ernest Borgnine), she realizes how much she really means to her father.
