Needs and Wants and Lessons to be Learned

Okay getting what you want is a natural thing and things we need we get in a timely manner. It can be hard sometimes to determine a need from a want. Especially in our society many wants and can be needs because our standard of living is so high. Its okay to ask for what you want but like my children I have to remind them that you have to be patient and all will come in good time. It sounds simple but can be a simple lesson to learn. Usually anymore when I find myself "wanting" I look around and see if I am doing as much as I can do for others. Sometimes in side the "want" or the "need" there is a lesson to be learned.

Luke 11: 5 - 13
5	And he said to them, "Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, `Friend, lend me three loaves;
6	for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him';
7	and he will answer from within, `Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything'?
8	I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
9	And I tell you, Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10	For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
11	What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent;
12	or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13	If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
