In recent weeks the Mosley family has experienced some wonderful demonstrations as a result of praying and then acting on those prayers. One material one is the presence of a new Prius in our garage. It's great to have a new car, AND it's even more special as a demonstration of prayer at work. Not a prayer for things, but prayers for ways to simplify our lives and contribute to the health of the planet at the same time.
The short version, as some of you know, is that we placed our names on lists for a Prius several weeks ago. The waiting list was 8 to 12 months long. On a recent trip to a family reunion, we drove our sedan and took the title along with us. On the return trip we stopped over night. When we left the hotel the next morning we discovered a Toyota dealer right next door. As we entered the driveway, there was a RED PRIUS on display! About three hours later we continued our journey home in the Prius!
What does this have to do with prayer? We asked to simplify our lives and contribute to a healthier planet. We got the suggestion to take the title to our sedan with us. We moved our feet on both issues, and now we go to the gas station about every two weeks, our emissions load is much less, and we feel more ready to drive as needed by our congregation.
Nothing truly belongs to any of us - it's all God. Our work is to use it in service to God in this life experience, as we learn more of who and whose we are. Prayer is not all that we did, or do. We work constantly to get and keep our spiritual house in order. This includes faith, prayer, self examination, forgiveness, and tithing, along with other actions as we are led. We have a deep knowing that all our needs are met as we do our spiritual work, then ask, trust, and move our feet.
Take these thoughts into prayer and see if God will not open the windows of heaven for you.
Rev. Martha
