Lord Grant Me a Wish
A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. All of a
sudden, he said out loud, Lord grant me
one wish. "Suddenly the sky clouded above
his head and in a booming voice the Lord said, "Because you have
TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I
will grant you one wish."
The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so
I can drive over anytime I want." The Lord
said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous
challenges for that kind of undertaking.
The supports required to reach the bottom of
the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! I can do
it, but it is hard for me to justify your
desire for worldly things. Take a little more
time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honor
and glorify me."
The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I
wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel
inside, what they are thinking when they
give me the silent treatment, why they
cry, what they mean when they say 'nothing', and how I can make a
woman truly happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?"
