Here are just a few of my experiences:
One time my car broke down out in the boondocks. I tried and tried to get it to start again but it wouldn't. My friend and I prayed over the engine and it started right up.
Another time, during my starving artist days, I only had 50 cents to my name and needed gasoline to get me to and from work for the next 3 days. The gas tank was so empty I worried that I wouldn't make it to the gas station. As I put 50 cents worth of gasoline in my tank, I prayed for God to bless it and make it last until pay day. Work was 10 miles away. I got 60 miles out of less than a gallon of gasoline in an American gas guzzler.
Another time, the cubboard was bare except for peanut butter, there was no money and 2 days to pay day. By this time I had learned to have faith that God or the universe would supply for my kid and me. When I got to the radio station to start my shift, in my mailbox was an invitation for me and a guest to attend a promotional dinner that night for Chi Chi's grand opening. I took my son and we had so many left overs we were able to eat a big meal the next day and make it through to pay day.
Another time my son and I wanted to get a kitten. He wanted a black one, I wanted a white one. He was very young and we still did our nightly prayers together. So, we asked God for a kitten. My son told God he wanted a black one and I told God I wanted a white one. When we were through, my son said he didn't think that God would send us a kitten. I told him to wait and see. The next night I took him to work with me and the janitor came in carrying a box with a gray kitten in it and asked us if we wanted it. Not only did we get a kitten, we got one that was gray, a black and white compromise.
We named him Merlin. He was one of the best cats I have ever had the pleasure to know.
Was it just coincidence?
I could go on with more stories, but I don't want to wear out my welcome on this thread.
