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 honour 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?"
