A
man deep in prayer was walking along a California bridge. 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 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?"
