from the devotional "OUR DAILY BREAD" for June 23 :

Christmas morning came, and he opened the package confidently. Sure enough it was the stagecoach he had begged for. He was so pleased. But then his older brother said, "You really did a dumb thing to insist on getting that coach. Mom bought you a much bigger one, but when you begged for that little one, she exchanged it!"

"Pray the largest prayers. You cannot think a prayer so large that God, in answering it, will not wish you had made it larger." Phillips Brooks

"Do not presume to know what's best
When you begin to pray;
But say to God, " YOUR WILL BE DONE,"
Then TRUST His perfect way." - Sper
