One evening six-year-old Bobby asked his father for a puppy.

"Sorry, Bobby," his father said, "not now.

But if you will pray real hard for two months, perhaps God will send you a baby brother."

Little Bobby prayed real hard for a month, but nothing happened so he quit praying.

But he was very surprised a month later when a baby boy arrived at their home.

As he was looking at the baby beside his mother, his proud daddy pulled back the covers a little to expose another baby. TWINS!

His daddy asked, "Aren’t you glad that you prayed for a baby brother?" Little Bobby replied,

"I sure am, but aren’t you glad that I stopped praying when I did?"
