Keyboard Christmas, The Blessing

I learned later on how my parents were able to get me the keyboard.

Actually my parents had talked about it and had decided that they couldn't get me the keyboard for Christmas. It was not cost effective that Christmas. My mother said that she was so hurt about it that she went and prayed about it. So, there were two prayers up before God about my keyboard.

My Sunday School teacher went up to my parents after Sunday School that Sunday I had requested prayer and told them that I had requested prayer for the keyboard. My mother looked hurt. My father just shook his head. My Sunday School teacher told them not to worry because her friend was a pastor and his church had just gotten a new keyboard. He had been looking for someone to give the keyboard to, but every time he tried to give it away to someone, the spirit told him not to give it to that person.

My Sunday School teacher said, "When Shannon raised her hands and made a prayer request, I heard, the keyboard is for her. So, I am going to call my friend to see when you all can go pick up the keyboard." My father told her no and that she didn't have to do that. My Sunday School teacher and mother ganged up on the poor man and told him, "This is a blessing from the Lord, you are going to go pick up the keyboard and give it to Shannon." My father had no choice.

God is an awesome God!
