A Father's Secret

Its been a while since I spoke to you, I'm sorry its been so long. But I've had a lot of trouble lately, so many things went wrong. I started to come and talk to you, just the other day, but a strange thing happened to me, as I began to pray. I needed some money, needed it fast, I had some pressing bills. I was just about to plead to you, when my neighbor rang the bell. He said he needed a fence torn down, and a new one put in its place. He said that he would pay me good, so his offer I embraced. And I remember another time, not so very long ago, I was just about to come to you, our groceries were getting low. But someone came while we were out, and left some food and such. I don't know just who they were, but I'm glad they thought of us. It just seems that every time I need some help from you, something always happens and somehow it gets me through. But its nice to know your up there, should I ever need your help. And I'll be sure to come to you, when I can't manage for myself. Amen.
