Sometimes It Only Takes Minutes!
Submitted by: Carol
FloridaI am retired and live on a fixed income. I have 2 wonderful children who are married to the loves of their lives and I have 4 beautiful granddaughters. They are all the joys of my life and I thank God every day for them.
I am retired and live in central Florida on a fixed income. I very rarely am ‘in a bind’ financially, but one week I was totally without any extra money for food or gas. This normally would not have been an issue as I could easily make it through on what I had until my retirement check came in the following week. However, my sister from South Florida called and said to me that she needed to come and stay with me for a few days with her son, as she had a closing on the sale of her house in a town near me.
She had been through terrible financial troubles and needed to sell her home but the sale was fraught with problems and delays. Once she had accepted the offer of sale, she move to south Florida 175 miles away to live with our other sister. We are all very close and help each other out and I missed her and my nephew very much after they moved away.
After the phone call, I put what I had learned from watching “ The Secret” and reading my daily “Secret” inspirations, to work. I asked for some extra money to come ‘today’ so I could buy extra food and put gas in my car. I thanked creation for helping me. I believed that my prayer was heard and it would be answered.
A few minutes later my daughter called and asked me to drop by and visit. I mentioned that I was low on gas and that Auntie and Adam were coming the next day and I would visit when she came so I would only have to make one trip. We finished chatting and hung up. I never mentioned about being limited on the rations portion of my situation.
About 10 minutes after our call, I got a text message from my son-in-law telling me that he had just deposited $50 into my checking account!
I was flabbergasted that in less than 20 minutes of asking for help, my prayer was answered. I thanked God over and over. I told my sisters, my daughter and her husband about it and as I had done many times before, encouraged them to watch “The Secret” and believe.
My daughter told me that I was very lucky that her husband acted so quickly because she was going to run to the bank and only deposit $25!!! Again, I thank God over and over and said a special thank you for my generously caring son-in-law.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
