“He said that the phone had rung 3 times so he came out to get me…”
I was about 13 and was scared of walking alone in the dark after a Church meeting. At the end of the meeting I had to either walk for 20 minutes home in the dark or ring my Dad and wait in the dark for him to come and pick me up. I didn’t have any friends with me. I prayed to God to help me and when I got outside my Dad was already there!
This happened before mobile phones were invented. We had a system that I would ring from a phone box and let it ring 3 times when I wanted him to come and pick me up. I hadn’t had chance to do that but he was there anyway. When I asked him about it, he said that the phone had rung 3 times so he came out to get me. I had not long become a Christian and this really encouraged me.
