This thirty-nine-word spiritual story, Mysterious Ways, has the proper word count and finds the soul that is secure in the knowledge that he/she has a friend in Jesus. Nice.

Faith is a wonderful thing, and can get one through a lot. Your story reminds me of a real one I'd heard about a girl who was living in her car while applying to college, and earned a nearly full four-year college scholarship. It's amazing what can happen when you believe. You did well following all the guidelines, and making a story out of only 39 words.

Comment from Mary Vigasin
In so few words, you show that happiness does not have to be what we believe has to be worldly goods or even a comfortable shelter. It is a deep faith in God and his protection.
Beautifully written.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes,
Mary

A lot is said in a very short piece. Many people think you must have a world of material possessions in order to be happy, but all you really need is some faith to see that what you do have is special.

That's so true, in Habakkuk 3: 17 it says, Though the fig tree will not blossom, and no fruit upon the vine...says it all, have a look, that's exactly how I feel, I know He's always with me,I have been near destitute a couple of times, but that was a long time ago.

I like this a lot, as it also speaks of not judging individuals in dire circumstances (and we never know some-one else's story fully) as well as of the fact that God is a Friend and Comforter to all who turn to Him. He is blind to externals and only sees the heart. Excellent.
Best wishes for your entry too!

Great way to show us the two realities we straddle in life. Even though the externals of our physical life seem miserable, our spirits can still feel joy in our spiritual reality. Best wishes in the contest!

You've nailed the 2 biggies in this review, Dolly - inner peace and spiritual; freedom.
