A STORY ABOUT FAITH . . .

Several years ago, a small Midwest farming community was experiencing
the worst drought in history. The leaders of the community called a
prayer meeting in hope of everyone attending and holding a group
prayer for rain. One man was in attendance with his small son. As
everyone was praying the small boy looked around puzzled. He then
reached up and tugged his fathers shirt and asked, "Daddy, what is
everyone doing"? the man explained that everyone was praying for rain
and then went back to his prayer. The boy looked around for a few more
minutes and seemed even more puzzled. He reached up again and tugged
on his dad's shirt and asked, "Daddy, if everyone is here to pray for
rain, why didn't anyone bring an umbrella"?
