The elderly man was at his evening prayers, and after he'd finished thanking God for another wonderful day, and for the health and well being of all his family and friends, he asked this question ...

"Dear Lord , as you know I've always tried my best to abide by your laws and rules, as best I understood them, you've allowed me to live a long and eventful life, and I'm very grateful for that. But I have to ask the one question that's been troubling me for years now. "

"You created this entire universe, this marvelous world and put me right here at this particular time and place."

"Why did you go to all that trouble and then put me right here and now?"

And a great and powerful voice, chuckling with good humor said ...

"Why, I'm almost surprised you haven't figured it out already!"

"I built your world and put you in it so you and I could both see what you would do with what I've given you!"

Regards,

...

There's a lot of truth in that one!!!

I just pray every day that I have wisely used what the Good Lord has given me.
