Someone’s Listening

This just happened to me this week and I’m giving you the straight-up truth. The only reason it took a couple days for me to post about it, is I got sidelined with some other things. But this story needs to be told.

Last weekend I went to a county fair. There was a charity raffle near the main gate. I didn’t stop to look at it going in. Then I ended up running stuff back to the car and I stopped at the charity booth on my 2nd pass.

The charity was for the jail ministry. Bibles for convicts and all that. Counseling and spiritual services. Tell ya the truth, I didn’t really read though the whole spiel, I just pulled out five bucks and prepared to donate it.

The young woman watching the booth asked me if I wanted to buy raffle tickets. I looked at the prizes, being tickets to sports events, and said, “Nah, I’ll just donate.”

“The grand prize is $500,” she pointed out. I still didn’t really care, as I figured the odds of wining were such that I shouldn’t hold my breath. But then a thought occurred to me, and I answered thus:

“Oh, why not. Gimmie the tickets. If I win, I can donate even more.” We both chuckled, and I added that donating half back would still leave me with a nice prize.

I put my entries in the jar with the others. After leaving the booth and getting involved in the fair for 8 hours, I forgot all about the raffle.

Two days later I got a phone call from the prison chaplin. I’d won the $500. And you know what was running through my mind?

I though that my words must have went up pretty high, and now they were going to be put to the test, know what I mean? So I was happy I’d won, but also a little freaked out at the same time. Who has their words turn out this way?

My prize check is in the mail. I will be sending $250 back to that charity. It’s a good cause, and I’m happy to do it.

I’ve heard of speaking things into existence, but wow.
