Pray on and on and on and on and on and onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My children teach me so much!!!
Years ago, our jeep had been stolen from Bill's shop. Well, my children and Bill and I prayed for the jeep to be found. After a period of time, the children continued to pray, but in my spirit I had basically given up on this jeep ever being found!
The children prayed DAILY for the person that stole the jeep and for the jeep to be found and returned.
After three years of praying I was done. I told the kids that the Jeep was gone. Welllllllll... , one day , one of Bill's old employees came by the shop all excited. He was in Northen Wisconsin and saw a jeep being towed. Bill's jeep was very distinctive, because for one thing it was very old and had BILCO welded on the back bumper> The old employee turned and followed the driver and got his liscence. Sure enough... after calling the police and following the driver, it WAS BILL'S JEEP!!!! We never expected to see that Jeep again. The children totally believed that the Jeep would be found and returned!! Well, we got the Jeep back, but a storage company wanted to charge us one thousand dollars, for storing the car for a year! We told them a police report had been made,etc. and we found out the police had put the wrong vin. # down.... that explained why it just seemed to dissapear....although they tried to grind down the name Bilco on the bumper!!
After we got the Jeep back a young man was applying for a job at Bill's shop... He saw the Jeep and said "I think I know who stole your Jeep". We pursued it and sure enough.. there was a full confession! The person that stole the Jeep had to pay us .... one thousand dollars!!! How's that for getting double for your trouble??? (Isaiah61)
The kids taught us a lesson in praying, too! Luke 18:1 says" men ought ALWAYS to pray and NOT GIVE UP"!!!! That's what the kids did... Till the answer comes KEEP PRAYING!!!!
OH! And if that wasn't enough, I got some pictures developed, and there was a double exposure picture of our Thanksgiving dinner with THE JEEP in the middle of it.........
KEEP PRAYING!!!!............................. Till the answer comes!
Talk about the faith of children!!!!
