Our church anniversary was fast approaching. We all wanted the event to come quickly, except for one little problem...no, it was a big problem.We had recently removed the out of date, unappealing floor tiles from our two hallways and main lobby and the new carpet was not in yet. It. Looked. Awful.
Now this wouldn't normally be a huge deal, but since it was Anniversary Sunday, we expected to have many newcomers at that Sunday morning service. A totally demolished front entryway would not be a very good first impression to these visitors.
We, as a church, went into "last resort mode"--prayer. (Which, may I add, should be first resort mode.:)) Practically everyone in the church (including the children) was praying that we would get this carpet in before this anniversary.
In spite of what the carpet company said was "not possible," the carpet was finished the day before our big event and the church looked awesome!
You may look at this instance and think "It's only carpet. It's no big deal." But we looked at it as proof to those praying kids that God DOES answer us. Praise God prayer works!
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not.
