Its more than a thought....its a Prayer!

  
 A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER

  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 that I might  enjoy life.

  God said, No.   I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

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

God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
