One 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 to."
The
Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the logistics
of 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
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."
After a few minutes, God said, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
