Given Three Wishes, What Would You Have?

[eStu]

I'd wish for:

1. Sufficient wisdom and enlightenment for all so that all people would fully understand, and not abandon, the Golden Rule.

2. An end to violence and dishonesty (though I'd think this would be covered by 1).

3. Equal opportunity for all people.

that is good wishes. May your wishes come true.

Thanks Crisi

Your third wish gave me a chuckle

They say good things come in small packages, right?

It kinda reminds me of a 90's pop/rap song (not my type of music but it's amazing what can get stuck in your head) where the chorus started "I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller..." It's good to be able to poke fun at yourself.

Yes, I have an older sister who was 4 feet 10 inches before she started shrinking from age, and now she is shorter. She doesn't like being short either. But short doesn't detract from importance. Valuable people come in all sizes, and we are all important in God's eyes. My high school music teacher said that every person is superior to every other person in some aspects. He was saying that God made all of us valuable, and all of us have strengths and weaknesses, but we are all important as God sees us! I thought the terms were interesting "little but terrible," or "little but mighty!" We had a cook where we lived and worked for the last 10 years of our working lives. He was a little over 4 feet tall, and He carried a box/milk crate with him everywhere so that he could stand on it to reach things. Unfortunately he had a drinking problem, and because of his small body alcohol had a worse effect on him than most people, but he was a good guy. He had an advertisement music that he loved, and he would dance to it while he was cooking, then he would rewind it and dance again. I think that gave him pleasure, and then I think he liked the response it got/attention also, because everyone else loved to watch that as well!

If I could have a 4th wish, I would wish that my wife, Carol, would enjoy my piano playing. She likes it that I can play the piano, and every once in a while she tells me that I should thank Jesus that I can play the piano. She gets really tired of listening to me play it, and I do play the piano for hours sometimes in an attempt to get better, and then I enjoy it for both of us. She tells me it really gets on her nerves, but she is very good to let me play until she can't stand it anymore, then she begs me to stop, and I usually do!

We can have many wishes in life. But most of all if time be back, I want to have a happy family and that my parents will be together from the start. I want them happy, too. If only we can take back the past.

We live and we learn, then we die and, and we forget it all. That is what my high school music teacher said. I can look back over my life and think of several places where maybe I should have made a different decision, but I didn't. I did what I did. All in all it has been good. One thing I wish if I could take the past back is that I would have made the effort early in my life to learn to play the piano, but I didn't. I can now enjoy playing the piano even though I am not as accomplished as I would be if I had learned young, but I do enjoy it, and I spend a lot of time playing the piano. One of these days I need to get my trombones out and play them again also. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not here yet, but we do have today. We can live to glorify God in our lives and look to Him for guidance. He will help us to leave yesterday in the past, live well today, and be prepared for tomorrow.
