I asked God to take away my habit. [IMAGE]

  God said, No. [IMAGE]

  It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. [IMA GE]

I  asked God to make my handicapped child whole. [IMAGE]

  God said, No. [IMAGE]

  His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary [IMAGE]

  I asked God to grant me patience. [IMAGE]

  God said, No. [IMAGE]

  Patience is a by-product of tribulations;

  it isn't granted, it is learned. [IMAGE]

  God said, No. [IMAGE]

  I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you. [IMAG E]

  Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares

  and brings you closer to me. [IMA GE]

  I asked God to make my spirit grow. [IMAGE]

  God said, No. [IMAGE]

  You must grow on your own! ,

  but I will prune you to make you fruitful. [IMAGE]

  I asked God for all things that I might  enjoy life. [IMAGE]

  I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things. [IMAGE]

  I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. [IMAGE]

  God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea. [IMAGE]

  If you love God, send this to ten people and

  back to the person that sent it. [IMAGE]

  THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY [IM AGE]

  May God Bless You,

  "To the world you might be one person, but  to one

  person you just might be the world" [IMAGE ]
