My Good Time Stories

I recently came across the following little writing and I thought to myself, “This would be a great thought to share with everyone.” So, without further ado, here it is:

I asked God to take away my habit.

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 so that I might enjoy life.

God said, No

I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.

God said…Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

Remember: The Day is Yours Don’t Throw It Away!
