This is from my e-mail - thought I'd pass it on...

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 grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
It isn't granted, it is learned.

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 for all things 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.

Thank you Jenny

That is a keeper. All of my spiritual indicators right now are pointing to the fact that it's all about how much we love.
Peace,
Gabe
