Prayers Two Ways

I remember reading a book where a group of men were traveling by boat in the Pacific. They kept praying for winds in their favor and nothing happened. They realized that their prayers may be in conflict with other people's prayers on the water. So, one of the crew decided to be the Lord's wind and rowed the boat to the meeting they were to attend.
Today I got to experience this a little bit. We've been wanting to have some trees taken down since we purchased this house. However, the expense was so much that we've opted NOT to do it and just hope that they never decide to fall down on our house. Well...our neighbor's fiance works for Georgia Power, so he deals with trees all day every day. We've known this for a few months and never thought about asking him to give us an estimate. So, this morning we waltz over and ask what he would charge. He comes over immediately, gives us a quote and we shake on the deal...seriously NO BETTER DEAL!! And, he didn't put us off. He started cleaning and sharpening his tools immediately and tonight two trees are already down (and currently being shredded) and the third is mostly branchless.
As we were chatting this evening, I discovered that we were also an answer to their prayers. They were really in need of some extra cash and here we come with the opportunity. We had an answer to prayers with the quote and getting it done and they got their answer for needed funds.
Let me just tell you that it feels amazing to have these prayers answered by each other. The Lord works in "mysterious" ways only because we have no idea the way He orchestrates things to work out to the best ways possible!
