A Gift Unrecognized

I'm so conditioned to think in a conventional way, that sometime I completely blinded to all the gifts God granted me.  I have asked God for the experience of spirituality...for being able to be who I truly am...for being the source of love to others...and for having the strength to carry light into darkness.  And God delivered.  I just never saw it until now.

I wasn't sure if I had any expectations how those wishes were to come about.  Maybe I thought I'd wake up one day and [Poof!] there it is!  (That's how a movie would have done it, right?)

No!  If you pray for patience, then God will grant you the last place in a line at the bank...on a Friday...during lunch time...when all the tellers are sick... except for the slowest and oldest bank employee...who also has to answer all the phone calls while tending to the customers in line.

I got what I prayed for.  Sam is my gift of patience.
