A very devout man who was very over weight decided to go on
a diet. One of his main problems with eating was that he would stop for donuts
every morning on the way to work. So to make things easier for himself, he
changed his route to work to avoid the temptation of stopping. As the weeks
went by he started losing a lot of weight and was receiving compliments from
his friends and co-workers.
Then one morning without thinking, he accidently turned onto
the road which would take him by the donut shop. At first he was going to turn
around but then he thought to himself, "maybe the Lord is rewarding me for
my efforts". So, he said a short prayer telling the Lord that if this was
His true intention let there be an open parking place directly in front of the
shop.
And sure enough, on the fifth time around the block there
was an open spot right up front.
