Several years ago, a small Midwest farming community was experiencing the worst drought in history. The leaders of the community called a prayer meeting in hope of everyone attending and holding a group prayer for rain. One man was in attendance with his small son.
As everyone was praying the small boy looked around puzzled. He then reached up and tugged his fathers shirt and asked, "Daddy, what is everyone doing"? The man explained that everyone was praying for rain and then went back to his prayer.
The boy looked around for a few more minutes and seemed even more puzzled. He reached up again and tugged on his dad's shirt and asked, "Daddy, if everyone is here to pray for rain, why didn't anyone bring an umbrella?"
