Farmers suffer drought as God answers little girl's prayer |
EAP. Parkes NSW May 25. It was revealed today that the drought in the
central west of New South Wales, a wheat farming area, has occurred
because Peggy Lightfoot of the central west town of Parkes had prayed
to God asking for lots of fine weather for her outdoor netball team.
Peggy lives in High Street of the small town and walks the short
distance each Sunday with her family to attend St Georges Anglican
church. Peggy is a loving 10 year old child who loves her sport and
wanted a fine season for practice and playing for herself and her team
mates.
According to Peggy she decided to try her friend in the sky for help.
Peggy explained that when she and her family lived in Russell Street
she found it creepy because the cemetery is close by. There was even a
funeral director living next door. But in late October 2003 the family
put the property at number 8 on the market and moved up to High
Street. God had answered her prayer on that occasion and Peg decided
it would not hurt to try him again. It has now been learnt that the
almighty had planned a bumper crop for this year and plentiful rain
until he was touched by the faithful call for help from devote little
girl. Apparently Peggy had quoted the "ask and you shall receive"
verse in her prayer and according to the fine print found in the
almighty's biography this has to be answered. So now the farmers of
the central west have to grin and bear it as fields turn to dust and
sowing opportunities blow away. The Lachlan River at nearby Forbes is
a sequence of water holes.
Peggy has been asked by town's folks if she was concerned about the
plight of the farmers will hurt the town and her reply has been her
father works at the North Parkes gold mine outside of town and her
mother is a nurse at the hospital so her parents will be OK. Peggy
says the whole country has benefited by an abnormally warm autumn.
Everybody is talking about the fine weather and Peggy reminds everyone
that it is thanks to God.
