Looking for some evidence as to why it’s good to be a Christian? Here’s some.

A few weeks ago, my wife and I were despairing at the fact that we would not be able to have a family holiday this year due to an extreme lack of cash.
Racking our brains, we tried persuading parents to come on holiday with us to help share the cost – and the fun, of course! – but to no avail. We had left our holiday planning too late, it seemed.
After bemoaning the fact that despite us both being fully qualified professionals we could not fund a week in Padstow during the school holidays, we let the matter rest. We didn’t even ask for prayer for financial help, electing instead to keep our fiscal problems to ourselves this time.
Then, one day, we returned home from picking our son up from school to find an innocuous little envelope sitting in the hallway, containing enough money to enable us to go on that holiday after all.
We found a cottage in Padstow small enough for us to be able to afford it, and which miraculously was available in the one week I could get off from work during the holidays, and booked it.
This is why it is good to be a Christian. Not that God gives you money, but that He truly does answer your prayers.
