The Mouse In Prayer Meeting

Once we had a prayer meeting
in our home…it was a humble place.
When all our friends were gathered there,
a mouse gave a merry chase.

He scampered across the living room floor,
we wished that we could die.
We prayed that the floor would open up
and swallow him…it didn’t-
But at least he was shy.

Yes he was quiet, and disappeared fast. We were mortified! :)
