A Little Bonus


"She wanted to go back to school, but didn’t have the money. The power of prayer was what she needed.

By Margaret Walsh

At the age of 36 I decided to return to college. As I signed the registration forms in the bursar’s office the cashier said, “The charge is five hundred and nineteen dollars. If you do not have the money now, you can pay next week when you start your first class.”

I didn’t have the money then. In fact, I wasn’t sure I’d have it the next week either, but my desire to complete my education was strong.

“Dear Lord,” I prayed as I left the office, “if you want me to do this, help me to find a way.”

In the late afternoon I stopped at the Department of Motor Vehicles to renew my driver’s license. After scanning my forms the clerk asked me about a name transfer I had made several years earlier on my car. Then she excused herself to confer with a supervisor.

What now? I fretted.

“Give it to her,” I heard the supervisor say. When the clerk returned, she was smiling. “We owe you some money on that transfer a few years back,” she said. “We’re going to give it to you now. It comes to five hundred and forty dollars.”

God had not only answered my prayer for the means to continue my education; he added a little bonus too!"

I don’t know how many stories like this I could tell. Once, I needed about $1000 for something important and I had NO idea how I would come up with that money. My daughter hurt her ankle playing baseball and because of the insurance their dad had, I had to take her to Boulder to be seen. (This was a generally ‘sore subject’ I simmered under each time something like this happened) On the way home, a deer jumped into the road hitting the drivers side fender. I was a mess, searching everywhere with a flashlight for the injured deer. thankfully, there was none to be found, no blood or hair on the car or road and so I was relieved at that good fortune. Amazingly, an uncommon practice, carrying full coverage on the car, was in place. The car was ‘totaled’ and the amount….just over $1000.

Miracles happen every day, if we only keep our heart and minds open so to see that….He has truly blessed us!
