Mans 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 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 the give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean
when the 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?"
