Prayer got answered

Today has been a remarkable day of my life. God answered my prayer. Well I promised God to testify what He had done for me. So here I am testify it via blog, whereby everybody can read and know that God is good all the time.

Something which was under my care went missing and if I were not get it back again, I might need to pay for it although I believe I was not the one who lost it. I was so paranoid about the missing item and prayed hard to God to intervene. Guess what? God intervene and instead of being reprimand for losing the item, I get a new item. The same but used one. I do not mind getting an used item but as long as I get the same item, it would be good enough for me. Therefore thank God that good things does happen when you pray. God answer all prayer. Thank You very much Lord. Without You I am nothing. Therefore here is the testimony. Though it is short, I hope it would be a blessing to know that God answered prayer. Even a small prayer request like mine. Thank You Lord.

Two Men

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.

One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.

His bed was next to the room's only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation..

Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.
Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days, weeks and months passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.

She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.
He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.

It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.

Moral of the lesson: Life is short. Let us learn to encourage each other and care for each other despite all our handicapped-ness.
