My Answered Prayer ListKeeping a list of answered prayers was number 20 on my list of 101 Things to do in 1001 Days. I think it'll be a wonderful way to keep answered prayers - even, maybe especially, the ones that God answers but not necessarily in the ways that I'd expected - in front of me. It'll be a reminder that God does hear my prayers and the petition prayers of those going to the Lord on my behalf.
So, here goes.
1. The husband of a friend got a job that seems well-suited to both him and their family. And he got that job just in time for...
