A man, walking along a Marina beach (Chennai), 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 from Chennai to Port Blair (Andaman) so I can drive over any time 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 Ocean ! 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 honour and glorify me". The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish 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 can I make a woman truly happy".
The Lord said, "You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?" |
