A thought about Requests

Waiting on God:

A man asked God how long a million years was to him.

God replied, “It’s like a single second of your time, my child.”

So the man asked, “What about a million dollars?”

The Lord replied, “To me, it’s like a single penny.”

The man gathered himself up and said, “Well, Lord, could I have one of your pennies?”

And God said, “Certainly, my child, just a second.”

Trust: Second Opinion


A man fell off a cliff and, at the last minute as he fell, happened to grab hold of a shrubby bush.


As he dangled in space, he was filled with terror and called out toward heaven, “Is there anyone up there?”


A calm. powerful voice came out of the sky, “Yes, there is.”


The man pleaded, “Can you help me? Can you help me?”


The calm voice replied, “Yes, I can. simply let loose of the bush, and everything will turn out fine.”


There was a tense pause, then the man yelled, “Is there anyone else up there?”
