I did ask God to give me friends. He gave me you.
I asked God to take away my pain. God said, No. It is not for me to take
away, but for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole God said, No. His spirit is
whole, his body is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of
tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned.
I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No. I give you
blessings.Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from
worldly cares and brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No. You must grow on your own,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No. I
will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.
I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY.
"To the world you might be one person, But to one person you just might be
the world."
