New Word

I was warned about drinking the water and all the other possibilities for getting sick on my recent trip to Guatemala. Heeding the warnings, I also prayed, “Dear Lord, don’t let me get sick on this trip”. I found it quite amusing that I didn’t get sick on the trip, but just as my foot touched home soil I got the chills. The chills were followed by high fever, and then followed by that unmentionable and uncontrollable body function. Between trips to the bathroom, I rushed to the walk-in clinic, explained the situation and supplied the lab with a sample.

The results came back.

Cool! A new word for my vocabulary.

I can only marvel at God’s incredible sense of humor and the fact that prayers do work. I just need to be more specific in the wording of my prayers.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for answering my prayers.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for sharing your humor with me.
And Please Lord always keep me humble.

Amen
