Mary asked me the other day "Why doesn't God always give you what you ask for when you pray?" Wow that is a loaded question. So I pulled out all my wise mommy answers and was even a little smug about how easy I thought I made it for her. I don't know why I thought it would make sense to her when I don't even understand it myself. She was really listening and I was about to pat myself on the back when she said in a sort of disgusted tone, "But Mom, you don't even know what I prayed for."

"I was standing on the couch getting ready to jump off, and I prayed that if I would put my arms out and flap that He would give me butterfly wings and I could fly. I really wanted them and I wish I could fly." All of my wise answers no longer applied and I had to give a simple "I don't know".
