Childish Prayer

OK, this is going to sound kinda like a childish deal.....
My wife is an RN for a local cardiologist. From time the time she gets to travel to various places for training in their field of cardio.
Recently, she was told that they are going to send her to New York City. All of her expenses are paid. (Praise the Lord!)
We are coming up on our 20TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!! (Feb.11th)
There is NO WAY that I would be able to go on this trip. NO WAY AT ALL! So, we decided that she needs to go ahead and let them book her flight and I would just sit this one out. No big deal.
She really wanted me to go.
No money AT ALL was available for me to go.
NONE.
ZILCH.
NATTA!
Last night a friend of mine (former member at CPC) called me.
His name is Mason.
Mason was already scheduled to come and be a guest speaker this weekend at CrossPoint Church.
We were going over some details about this weekend’s service.
I told him Tami will not be there this weekend, and told him why and that I was looking forward to their visit us.
His response.....
"Randy, I have some flyer miles built up that I will never use"
My response.....
"Holy crap!!!" (or at least that was what I was thinking on the inside)
He called me later that evening and said check your email the round trip tickets are in your box.
Yep, they are.
Mason even paid the transfer fee (100 bucks) for us.
So, God said ok to our simple prayer.
Yes, I KNOW ITS GOD THAT SAID OK!!!!
Yes, like I said, this sounds childish.... but I am gonna play like a child in NYC, and enjoy our 20th wedding anniversary!
After all, Jesus did say to "become as a child".
Just a Thought.....
