I never wanted for anything when I was a child. My parents were generous but did not spoil my siblings and me, and we were lucky to live a comfortable life. My parents made sacrifices that still amaze me, giving up much of their youth that many people cling to like a life preserver in the sea. However, my parents don’t view it as a sacrifice at all; rather, they see it as a fulfillment of their dream, being able to raise great children in a happy family.My parents have a great attitude about it, and it is one that I am sure many people wish their parents also had. I was fortunate, but we all are. For our Father in heaven, hallowed be his name, will give more than my parents could ever dream of. No matter our plight in life, God is waiting patiently for us to ask Him for something. What we ask for is up to us. If you asked me for some food and I gave you a chair, it wouldn’t make any sense. God does not fool us; He is not wanting to give us something different from what we ask. The most important thing that all Christians must remember: we will get what we ask for...but first, we must ask!
