food for thought

so i'm reading this book called "God's blogs" [i've read it before. twice.]

i highly recommend it.

there's a chapter about anger and how anger basically comes down to not getting what we want.

it says that when we don't get what we want, it's probably because we don't really want it.

we all want to be happy and we don't always know what will make us happy. sometimes we think we do, but we don't see the bigger picture. God does. so when he says no, it's probably because in the long run...

it's not something that would have made us haappy

[ie. not something we really want]

interesting way to look at it.
