One Wish
A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. All of the
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 have
been married and divorced four times. All of my wives said that I am
uncaring and insensitive. 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 lanes on that
bridge?"
