Answered Prayer

A short story

After getting custody of my three children 41 years ago, I went to bed dog tired after my workday on the job: picking the children from school, making supper, giving baths after homework was completed, finishing story time, reading and prayers, and tucking in the kids, I fell in bed with my eyes closed. As I began to pray, asking God for his help, my answer came that very moment. The children need me 24/7 now, a life change had to come and I needed to take them to church. It was not long after that I was introduced to the Primitive Baptists, where we all worshiped together. The kids needed to see me worshiping God and thanking Him for his mercy even in the situation we were in.

I appreciate this short anecdote. We all do well to reflect on the way that God has answered prayers over the course of our lives.
