I've learned my lesson

[Samson01]

7* “Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?”

Now, I don’t actually believe my prayer is responsible for our winter BUT before winter started I begged God to keep this a dry winter so I wouldn’t have to deal with the same level of snow we had last year and low and behold it has been a completely dry winter. Haha.

Now my family is jokingly accusing me of being the cause of such a miserable winter.

Of course neither I, nor my family believe this is actually a result of my prayer but it’s kind of funny. Sometimes the things we think we want aren’t what we need, or what is good for us.

Don’t ask for patience, cuz God doesn’t zap you with it.

He instead gives you the people who will test you daily - until finally you develop patience.

yes be careful what you pray for.

God did answer today the prayers of hundreds of people who have been praying for a certain person near the end of life to be reconciled with the Lord. Through an amazing series of events, and against all odds, a priest was present, the individual had time to make his peace with God and receive the last rites and died in His good graces. From the moment he died another cascade of grace and healing poured forth from the Lord and it has been in all a day more for rejoicing than sadness. Eternal rest grant unto Him O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and those of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in pease. Amen.
