An impossible wish

An impossible wish 
 
A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. 
 
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 man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive 
over 
anytime I want." 
 
The Lord said, "Your request is very 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 man 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 a woman 
truly 
Happy." 
 
The Lord replied, "You want 2 lanes or 4 lanes on that bridge?"
