Dear God,
Thank you for the baby brother,
but what I prayed for was a puppy.
--Children's Letters to God
Sometimes when we pray, we get what we want.
Sometimes we get what we need.
Accept both answers – the yes's and the something else's – with heartfelt gratitude.
Then look around and see what your lesson and gift is.
God, help me remember to be thankful even when the gift is not quite what I expected.
We cannot change the directions of the wind, but we can adjust our sails.
Have a beautiful day unless you plan otherwise.
... B-)
