There was a little old lady, who every morning. stepped onto her
front porch, raised her arms to the sky, and shouted: 'PRAISE THE LORD!'
One day an atheist moved into the house next door. He became
irritated at the little old lady.
Every morning he'd step onto his front porch after her and yell:
'THERE IS NO LORD!'
Time passed with the two of them carrying on this way every day.
One morning, in the middle of winter, the little old lady stepped
onto her front porch and shouted: 'PRAISE THE LORD! Please Lord, I have no
food and I am starving, provide for me, oh Lord!
The next morning she stepped out onto her porch and there were two
huge bags of groceries sitting there.
'PRAISE THE LORD!' she cried out. 'HE HAS PROVIDED GROCERIES FOR ME!'
The atheist neighbor jumped out of the hedges and shouted:
'THERE IS NO LORD. I BOUGHT THOSE GROCERIES!!'
The little old lady threw her arms into the air and shouted: 'PRAISE
THE LORD! HE HAS PROVIDED ME WITH GROCERIES AND MADE THE DEVIL PAY FOR THEM!
i love that, now that is my kind of girl, lol,dt

I cannot tell you how many times in the last year I have prayed God please fix this certain situation and nothing... I was so angry and bitter... to the point I wouldnt step foot in a church for months.. Then in the last ummm 5 months really I saw why... I am so so thankful for God not answering those prayers now. There are other people now who can do what we arent there to do and others who can carry on where it was left off and we need to be where we are right now and if God had answered those prayers we would still be there probably with a bigger mess than we began with...
When I lost my mom in the midst of the mess... I thank God because she is no longer hurting
When I lost my sister.... I thank God, no not that I lost a sister I met once but because there are 4 people in a holy ghost Jesus name church because of that funeral service that would have never been exposed to thistruth otherwise
When I lost my grandparents... I thank God because they are no longer in pain and home where they want to be and it drew a lot of our family members back to church
When the events of the last 2 days happened... I thank God for bringing my nephew no matter how violent he is into my life because he sees a desire for God and he is wanting to change his life and he is now getting the help he needs...
There are so many things I prayed God would change... I want my mom home with me so badly... my grandparents.... my sister,,,, nephew to be the perfect child... but ya know what??? Thats not what God wanted... so no matter how many prayers I prayed saying God why... he knew ultimately that I would see his ways in this and not mine and I am so so thankful his will was done
