Lord build me a bridge
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 two lanes or four on that
bridge??"
