Power of Prayer

Let me start this by saying, I am still learning how to pray and to pray unselfishly and for God's plan. Anyway, in the past month, I have witnessed the power of prayer that is all of the above. You know, I don't know God's plans for me, and I know that our prayers are answered, just not always the way we want or expect. So, with that said, event number one. As many of you know, Dave and I went on a cruise on July 2nd. You may also recall that we encountered Tropical storm Cindy and Hurricane Dennis. Well, my mom and 3 kids prayed EVERY night for our safe return. Well, not only did we return safe, we had sunshine EVERYDAY and did not feel the effects of either storm. Event number 2. The stealing of Windsor (my friend's dog.) Upon learningof this, I prayed several different prayers. One being for Windsor to be returned safetly. Another one being tha tif he wsn't to be returned to Todd, that he would be kept safe and would not be used as a "dither" dog. Well, he was returned and he was returned unharmed. (Basically, he was thrown out of a white Honda, into a park. Was found bythe police and taken to Animal control. ) I am so thankful he was found and not injured.

SO, those of you on the fence about prayer, try it and try it unselfishly and with your heart leading the way. You may just be surprised:)
