One Wish
A biker was riding along a California beach when 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 biker pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Australia, and
have it pass through Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want."
The Lord said, "Your request is 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 biker 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 this woman truly happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge"?
