God's Sense of Humor

A pastor was telling me that he and his wife were dinning out with her best friend and her atheist husband who was also a cynic. The waiter came to their table and asked for out drink order.

Three of us ordered ice tea and the skeptic orders a class of the house wine. When the waiter leaves the man says, “Reverend too bad Jesus isn’t here, he could turn my cheap glass of wine into the best vino.The pastor says to himself, I’m not going there. He ignores the comment and the ladies engage in a conversation while atheist smirks.

The waiter returns with the beverages and says to the man, “ I’m sorry sir but we are out of our house wine. My manager apologizes and said to give you a glass of our best wine with his compliments.”

“Answer a fool as his folly deserves, that he isn’t wise in his own eyes.” Proverbs 26:5

A Mother's Prayer

My daughter Sandy was on her way back to college after a weekend home. About 45 minutes since she left our home, I was on the phone talking to a friend. I suddenly felt a strong prompting to pray for my daughter's safety.

"Gotta go! Gotta go! "I told my friend, "Call you later," I said as a hung up.

I dropped to my knees and asked God to protect her and keep her safe. I prayed for a hedge of protection around her. I added, "God I don't what is happening, or about to happen, but you do. Protect her please."

After Sandy arrived at Taylor University she called me. "Mom, we had a huge tire blowout on I-94,(the busy interstate between Detroit and Chicago). "We were all over the highway in heavy traffic. I didn't think we were going to make it.

I asked her when that happened and It was when God prompted me to pray for her safety.

God is so faithful. I thanked the Lord and praised him for keeping my daughter and friend safe.
