"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"


You asked me for a penny today, with an angel-infested smile planted upon your face, to throw the glittering copper into a marble for an inconceivable child's wish. A wish your hopes soar too high for, yet live off. A space you fill with tossing pennies and chasing dreams into every morning. this is what places that angel-infested smile on your lips. So for now, just for now, I'll place this make-believe wish in your sweaty pink palms, so you'll smile again for me.
