Sometime we don’t git jist what we’s been askin’ and den we’s got to change the wordin’ of our prayer. Lemme show you what I mean. It was git- tin’ nigh onto Christmas five years ago when my wife, Belladonna, who weren’t no member then, asked me what was I’se gwine to git for Chris’mas din ner. And I say: We’se gwine to have a fat turkey, and she allow whar it cornin’ from, and says I: ‘Don’t the Lord done say, Ask and you shall receive?’ While I’se gwine to ask for dat turkey, Belladonna done say: ‘Well I dunno know about dat.’ Now just remember Belladonna wasn’t no member then, but this here _ answer to prayer done brought her in. We also just prayed every night hard, but de turkey don’t seem somehow to come, and Belladonna commenced a jibbing and a jeering me. And so I say: ‘Belladonna, the time done come for changin’ de wordin’ of this here prayer,’ and that night I say: ‘Lord, me and Belladonna’s bin prayin’ for dat turkey and you ain’t seen fittin’ to send it. Now, Lord, you send a dark night and no moon, and I’ll get dat tur key myself.’ “And do you believe it, the very next night dere wan’t no moon and I just went put and I cum back with a fine big fat turkey, en’ as I laid it down on the table, I say To Belladonna: ‘You ain’t believin’ the word of God, is yqu? Well, you unbelievin’ woman, don’t the Lord done j say: ‘Ask and you git it? and I done asked and dar is the turkey.” Well, next day Belladonna joined the Church. Moses seemed to have many taking ways.
