A Thrifty Story
Good old Mr McDougall found himself in dire trouble. His business has gone bust and he's in serious financial trouble. He's so desperate that he decides to ask for help from above. He begins to pray... "God, please help me. I've lost my business and if I don't get some money, I'm going to lose my house as well. Please let me win the lotto."
Lotto night comes and somebody else wins it. McDougall again prays..."God, please let me win the lotto! I've lost my business, my house and I'm going to lose my car as well."
Lotto night comes and McDougall still has no luck. Once again, he prays..."My God, why have you forsaken me?? I've been good all my life and have never given you any trouble. I've lost my business, my house and my car. My children are starving. I don't often ask you for help and I have always been a faithful servant to you, NEVER missed a Sunday at church. PLEASE just let me win the lotto this one time so I can get my life back in order."
Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open and McDougall is confronted by the deepest and most powerful voice he has ever heard: "McDougall, meet Me halfway on this. Buy a blessed ticket!!!"
