One summer Sunday evening my wife and were standing on the garden patio at our house in Deganwy just being quiet enjoying the moment of calm and contentedness. Times had been hard during the past few months but on this evening we both agreed that we had had a stress free enjoyable weekend together. "What would make this evening even more perfect if you could have any wish, what would be it be?" I asked sipping my glass of red wine. Linda, looking up at the cloudless night sky filled with bright starry lights replied "I would like to see my own shooting star, because every time you say ‘did you see that!’ I turn a second too late and miss it. So I would like a shooting start please.""Consider it done. I stepped forward confidently and looking up to the heavens cried out ‘God I want the most beautiful, the most spectacular shooting star to go from (I pointed specifically to the places in the sky) here to here. And I want it in the next 30 seconds!"I started to count slowly from 1, 2, 3...and as I said 15 the brightest, most wonderful, shooting star shot across the dark heavens between the points I had indicated. It not only looked fantastic but it also sounded like a rocket traversing the sky. It was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. Our jaws dropped as we experienced this amazing answer to prayer. How good is that! How great is our God at giving good gifts!
