Hope you like this little "story" as much as I did.
"My mother said to me one day, 'Ah Charles! I often prayed the Lord to make you a Christian, but I never asked that you might become a Baptist.' I could not resist the temptation to reply, 'Ah, mother! the Lord has answered your prayer with His usual bounty and given you exceeding abundantly above what you asked or thought.'"
