When the church we were going to in Louisiana developed a plumbing problem
during prayer meeting I wrote this and sent it to faith writers.You had to be there.
It was too funny.I am surprised they did not dismiss prayer.I am sure some of you have witnessed really funny things.
The Smell of Success
Wow! What is that smell I ask as we arrived
at church for prayer meeting?
The doors and windows of the church were swung open
wide to let the fresh air in.
I found a chair and began to send up my chorus of
praise and worship to Jesus yet the hindrance of
that smell continually assaulted me.
I kept thinking about what to do to escape the
wrath of it all.
Finally I decided to use kleenex and pray
with it sufficiently folded up over my nose.
I am sure it was a sight to those around me but
I never have cared much about appearance to others
as much as how I appear to God.
I looked over at my pastors wife and she was doing
the same thing. It was such a funny sight that
I ended up hiding my face mostly behind the kleenex
to keep from laughing publicly.
Low and behold I leaned over to my friend and
whispered, “This would really preach wouldn’t it?
We could entitle it Stench in the Nostrils of God.
Or better yet since we are praying we could stop and
prophecy against the Dung Gate."
Then I really had to hold my kleenex just right because peels
of laughter roared forth. And being a ministers wife
I need to uphold a certain standard.
Isn’t that just like God to take a bad situation
and make something good out of it?
The bible says laughter doeth good like medicine.
Jesus knows I sure could use the laughter and medicine
right now as I have been going through an
especially fiery trial of faith.
Hours slip into days and days slip into
years and I know that like the smell left the
premises this too shall pass.
Oh yeah, and the plumbing is fixed now so we
Can get back to serious prayer.
