There’s an old joke told about a pastor giving a Children’s Message. He starts talking about a little animal that is gray, it gathers nuts during the year and stores them for winter, it lives in trees, you can see them scurrying along telephone wires… He keeps going, hoping one of the children will identify the little creature. Finally he asks, “Does anyone know what kind of animal this is?” One little boy responds, “Well, I know the answer is Jesus, but it sounds like a squirrel to me.” It’s an oldie, but a goodie.
This past Monday we sent out a prayer letter, asking for some emergency assistance. We needed to come up with a deposit for four tickets to Thailand, in order to save four slots for the trip our church is taking in July. We didn’t have it, and sent out a request for people to pray for a $400 miracle. We needed it in four days. I am beyond happy to report that we received the needed funding to reserve four tickets! And not only that, but some folks pledged ongoing support for our time overseas. Thank you all.
One friend wired money to Wal-Mart. There was a form to fill out and some information I needed in order to receive the money. There was also a security question. “The answer is ‘Jesus’”, my friend told me. The next day I went to pick up the wire. The clerk said, “We have a security question. It is: ‘Who are you depending on?’”
Ain’t it the truth.
