An impossible wish
A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer.
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! It will
nearly
exhaust several natural resources.
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 something that would honor
and
glorify me."
The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I
wish
that I could understand my wife. I want to know how she feels inside,
what
she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries,
what
She means when she says nothing's wrong, and how I can make a woman
truly
Happy."
The Lord replied, "You want 2 lanes or 4 lanes on that bridge?"
