Ben Young loves Tarner testimony. FAQs his mother, Carol, "Mom, please tell us another amazing story of God?" One day, Ben experienced "an incredible story of God's" own words.

One day, Carol and the children were driving from Buraimi, a small territory in the Arab country of Oman, where the Turners were missionaries. This is an area of desert, where there may be virtually no rainfall in the year. Ben asked: "Mom, let's live here forever?" Carol saysdepends on the will of God and asked Ben if he wants to live forever in Buraimi. Ben said no, he wanted to live in the U.S., due to snow in the U.S., but never snow here. Attempt to sound encouraging, Carol agreed that it was never snowing here, but reminded him that it does not rain in winter.

But we had the winter and rain. If only the rain … "Regrets Ben.

"What would you do if it rains?" Carol asked.

She hung up the list of ideas – of courseI was thinking about this for some time. "Well, it does not rain here in the summer but maybe next winter as the rain falls, some people," Carol offered lamely.

Ben soon became bold. "You know, Mom, God can make it rain in the summer. You can make it rain" at any time. You can make it rain now. I think we should do is pray. "Let's," he said, reaching out to Carol. He took her hand and prayed: "… if you please, and if he does any other disasterplans, please, you can make it rain? We understand if there is any reason you do not want it to rain now, but i8f would be nice, we would really like a bit of rain …."

The next day was a normal day. Carol makes cleaning the house and the children were playing as usual. Then the electricity went one time (also as usual). With air conditioning and fans detained, the rest of the house, suddenly very quiet and very hot. Carol lay on the ground in order torespite from the heat. In the silence, he heard a thud that sounded like thunder. Ben also heard. Of course, there was a thunder – it must be a plane. Then came again. It was not an airplane. Everyone went outside, looked up and there it was. . . big black clouds thundering rain ended just over the house! Next hear plink! plin! plin! raindrops landing in the driveway of metal.

Making Carol realized. Ben answer to prayer to God! Feeldown? It's really raining! "Ben looked quite unhappy, and said:" Actually, I expected more rain than this … "And he went to get an umbrella. When he did, the rain stopped and really started to fall, Ben has everything you could want has been done in the rain.

The neighbors left their houses and stood in the rain, looking up and drew the other in the eye. The children emerged from the wood and into the streetsplay in the cooling rain. But the most striking part of this story is that it only rained for Ben did what he wanted to do in the rain (about 15-20 minutes). "If the law is not enough that only a few moments, then not hear thunder and you lose everything!" Says Carol. "And the rains in our area (the size of two city blocks)," he said. "Some friends who live nearby said that due to our side of the road was wet andland on its side of the road was dry!

It may simply be the image of God, behind the scenes, smiling with joy as storm clouds form over the house believing that Ben, with care until a power outage and rain shower? "Where there is great love there are always miracles" Willa Cather wrote.

Now if it was not something that Ben decided to pray for snow ….
