A BIKERS PLEA IN A DOWNPOUR. ANYONE LISTENING? “We have a motorcycle ministry at our church. We take an annual ride somewhere; in this case, Nova Scotia. It was pretty country. Occasionally we’d see a farmer lifting up his head to watch a dozen bikers ride by, momentarily disturbing the peaceful countryside with the roar of our Harley’s. I’d wonder what they’d think as we rode into the distance ... and they’d see the white crosses on the backs of our leather jackets. It was late afternoon and dark clouds were forming, then it started pouring. I was worried whether we could find a place for the night. But first ... we had to find an overhang or something to get in out of the rain. Then I spotted a gas station up ahead with a canopy roof. We all pulled in and gathered around. I asked the attendant if there was a nearby motel, a place to stay? He shook his head. So, the same way I start every day on the construction sites, and face every issue without an answer, I said, ‘LET’S PRAY.’ I asked for God’s grace to provide us with a warm place for the night. One man added, “With comfortable beds.” “And a TV,” added another. “And a shower,” said still another. I ended by saying, “God, you tell us to BELIEVE, and we will RECEIVE all that we ask for in PRAYER.” We lifted our heads and in unison turned to a form that was coming through the downpour, from across the road. A man with an umbrella. ‘You need a place to stay?’ he shouted. I grinned and said, ‘Wait a minute. Before you say another word, is this a WARM place, with COMFORTABLE beds, a TV, and a SHOWER?’ He nodded. ‘Yep. I have a house nobody’s in,’ pointing across the road, ‘Yer welcome to stay there.’ ‘Wonderful. What’s the charge?’ I asked. ‘Not a cent. I saw the crosses on your backs. Com’on let’s get you in for the night.’ I knew then and there that God was watching over us; and listening AND answering prayers.” Rick LeClair (as told to me) ••• Rick LeClair’s other incredible story of the 20 Ton Rock that stopped 8-10 inches from crushing his church, was told here yesterday. This was another charming story I thought youd like to hear. What a message. BELIEVE, then RECEIVE what you ask for in PRAYER. Wishes and winks SQuire
