Melita your chocolate story reminds me of another true story.......Blond Story Time....lol
Our church had a softball league and I loved to play softball but not the greatest player. Seems like every time I hit the ball I was chasing it down first base and would normally be an easy out....
So I am up to bat and I am saying a little prayer. Lord please help me to get on first base and repeated it a few times as I am getting ready to hit the ball.
Well I bunted it not meaning to and the pitcher over threw it at first and they are yelling at me to run to second base and I could hear the ball in the air over my head and they overthrew the ball at second base and they are yelling at me to run to third base. Well I made it safely to third base and I remember thinking that I was silly for asking for help to get to first base but I learned that day that if something is important to us it is important to God. They all looked at me as though I was crazy as I kept yelling thank you God as I was jumping up and down on third base... But I was so thrilled to be on third base after my lousy hit....that I just couldn't stop thanking Him..... It was a fun night....

I'm just re-reading some good books on prayer. The most important thing about prayer, is getting to know God better.
When we know him better, it doesn't seem wrong to bring those important requests, and the small things before him.
As for me, the knee has improved 100% since yesterday, thanks to all who prayed. On a bad note, I now have my entire left foot flared - swollen like a balloon. We had to go change our driver's licenses and health care to BC today, and I had to ride in my wheelchair. I was worried people would treat me like an idiot, but they were all very nice! I'm so glad everything was equipped for wheelchairs.

Lol, I remember back in school during gym class, we were playing kickball. Well I always kicked with power, but the ball would go straight up and I would get out easily. Someone was trying to teach me how to kick it so it would go out not up....The Pitcher(Is that what it is called in kickball?) said that they were never going to teach it to me and not even God could help me get on base.....Guess what happened... I kicked the ball it went straight up like it normally did and the pitcher was laughing and going to catch it...it landed on the ground and bounced up hitting him in the face and knocking him onto his back onto the ground....I ended up getting a home run because when he recovered he tried to throw it to someone on base that was too busy laughing at him...Never say God can't do something....

Oh well! Lol...suppose it was an innocent mistake....praying I don't get a negative email from a member for that. Oh I could cry! Please forgive me everyone...I assumed it wasn't a real word....so I didn't Google it! I will Google any word I'm unsure about from now on! Whew! Lol broke a sweat on that boo boo momentarily!
