CHARGE BY CHANCE

Olivia couldn't believe her ears. Did Raph just propose to me?She said to herself. Without a second thought she screamed out a YES in pure delight not minding the stares of others eating at the restaurant.
                *Later in the night during dinner*
Mum..Dad....Raph proposed to me, he wants me to be his wife she said happily Wow!!exclaimed her brother.. So when are you bringing him home.said her mum...Olivia wouldn't mind bringing him over immediately teased her brother. Then bring home a wife soon if you are so jealous..Olivia chipped in
                  *Months later*
Steady preparations were being made concerning the wedding. It was all over the dailies "daugter of an oil tycoon getting hooked to the son of a wine conglomerate". A bridal shower was organised by Olivia's friends and they partied till dawn. By morning, her friends dressed her up and she looked so pretty in her white lace wedding dress. Her father walked her down the aisle and Olivia was joined in holy matrimony to Raph. Half way into the wedding reception, the unexpected happened.....

What!!!!!!!How can it be exhausted?shouted Raph's mother. I'm so sure the boxes of wine brought down here was more than enough to satisfy the whole guests. How can wine be exhausted at my son's wedding. Facing the head caterer,send someone down to the factory to get more wine immediately. But ma,....the factory is about 3hrs drive, we can't make it down here in time.replied the head caterer. With tears in her eyes,this cant happen..Raph is my only son..i can't be disgraced during his wedding.


I know someone who can salvage the situation said one of the caterers. Her face brightened up; bring him down here as fast as possible she said. She brought a man about the same age as Raph and before Raph's mother could say a word, he commanded the waiters to fill the drums with water and they hurriedly filled it up. What are you trying to do Raph's mother said? As if allergic to her words,he commanded the waiters again "you can serve the guests now". The waiters looked at each other in surprise and with mixed feelings served the guests. Holding on to his shirt"no you can't do this to my son" Raph's mother cried. Freeing himself from her grip, the man left. The chairman of the wedding beckoned to Raph's mother and said "I'm sure you made this wine specifically for your son's wedding, when is it going to be out for sale? I'd like to use this same wine for my daughter's wedding next month.



Nothing bad comes out of the Lord. Once given a chance,He steps into the situation and takes charge(john 2:1-10)
