is there anything you need us to pray for you?
In one of the earlier stories I kinda, in a round about way, dogged the church people as customers. I'm about to back peddle big time. This past Sunday, just after noon when the different churches let out, we fill up and hustled to get everyone taken care of in a timely manner. one of my waitresses had a group of ten waiting at the the door. The girl quickly set the table and collected the party to be seated. When the waitress got them to the table, she realized that there was only eight so she fixed the table and seated them. After getting their drinks and as she was taking their entree order one of the people at the table asked the waitress "is there anything you need us to pray for you?" The waitress replied that there were several things, she asked if she could have a minute to think of the most important one. When she returned to the table she said "can you pray that I make the money that I'm short, for bills, over the next two shifts?" Nothing more was said and their dining was uneventful. The party finished their meal, the waitress took their separate checks, in check presenter books and past them out. Picking up the remaining few dishes on the table and took them to the kitchen, then she returned to the table. The guests now were standing and each handing her their book. When she went to close out each check a wonderful thing had happened. The first book she opened had an extra $100.00, the next had the same that third had an extra $50.00 and the last had $15.00. $265.00 extra, the waitress ran to the people as they were leaving to thank them. They said just come to church some time. The waitress fell apart and wept. She told them she would be most happy to come to their church. She never told the people an amount that she needed, but it was $245.00. She was able to pay all bills before anything got shut off with enough left over to get gas.
