I was trying to find a way to explain why works is important to our faith. The Lord reminded me of something that will show it, and i think you will get a laugh to.
Some years ago, i think i was about 21 at the time. I worked at a summer camp for boys. Every saturday, the camp officials would take about 50 boys out canoeing on the Maumee Rr. It was the highlight of the week.
It started raining friday night. The forcast was rain all saturday, that would cancell canoeing.
Late friday night i prayed to the Lord, Please Lord, dont let these kids miss thier canoe trip. (Many children came from low income families, coming there was a big thing for them). I prayed a while, basically pleading for them. I knew the Lord heard me.
My daily program was cancelled saturday morning due to the rain. But i spent the morning loading the canoes onto the trailers by myself. 14 canoes in all. During lunch, to the surprize of all the sun came out and a blue sky appeared.
One of the officials got up and started to say the canoe trip was still cancelled as nothing was ready. I then got up and announced that the trailers were all loaded, and all the paddles and life vests were ready to.
They went canoeing that afternoon.
