"Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?" ~Evan Almighty "God"

I am the rhythmic beat of drums
That fill the oceans waves.

I am the never ending flow of

Love that’s always open to those who need it most.

I scream life and store a soul for safekeeping.

I’m the place where it all happens,

but the one who needs the most protection.

If broken, I take long to fix, you have to

know a special trick.




Time is my secret to heal.

What am I?
