What I gots

It is my personal belief that God does not grant wishes as if He were the Wish Faerie. Atheists point out you don't get what you want because there is no God. Ministers tell you that you don't get what you want because you are not sincere.

If I had no arms or legs or sight; if I was poor and had no food to eat and I prayed that I could have arms, legs, sight or food; why I would think I would be pretty sincere!

In fact I'd be feverishly sincere.

I have:
sight, all limbs in their proper locations and size.
a beautiful wife
a lovely daughter
a handsome son.
a job and all the trappings of lower-middle class life in a country that imposes no restrictions on my religion or beliefs.

I already blessed and we haven't mentioned God or Jesus yet.

I didn't say God doesn't grant wishes, or things you pray for- because God did grant me a wish and it came today in e-mail form.

My wish.

My wish is for a prayer book, and I have searched for and found one from the Anglican faith. I just don't have the $$ plus shipping.

I opened my e-mail account and there was a message from my dear sister. I clicked on it, and I swear I heard a "DING" (like a bell rang).

That ding was my sister offering to buy me any prayer book I wanted. Praise be to God and to my sister.

How cool is that? I didn't even pray for one. I simply searched for, and found one. I had even bought a study bible and had to return it due to not being able to read it. The print was so small I think ants are larger than three words - the print was that small. (No, I didn't have an ant to measure with, but...)

God knows I am desperate for His love. Desperate for a way to speak to Him with sincerity and I am developing a thirst for Him. This thirst seems to be headed for addiction status.

I am truly blessed in this life.

Good night and may God bless you.
