Knocking on the door woke up Alvin. " I'm coming". He put on a robe and walked over to the door. He opened it to reveal Mr Hanscom. His face looked scared.
" Alvin, I don't like Frank's revision". He handed him the folder. " The Board of Directors meeting is in two hours".
" What are you asking me Sir?".
" Please Alvin". He began to plead. " Could you look at it one more time?".
" Of course I will".
" Thank you Alvin". He turned to leave. " I'll be back in two hours".
A little later as he worked on the revision, his cell phone rang. " Hello".
" Alvin". His wife had an excited voice. " Prayer was answered".
" What do you mean?".
" A house contractor saw out plight on the news". Her voice paused. " They have offered to help rebuild our house for free".
Alvin closed his cell phone. Tears began to flow down his face. " Thank you God for your blessings".
In two hours, he gave the revision back to Mr Hanscom.
