In God's Own Good Time



A poor man walking in the forest felt close enough to God to ask, "God, what is a million years to you?" 
God replied, "My son, a million years to you is like a second to me." 
The man asked, "God, what is a million dollars to you?" 
God replied, "My son, a million dollars to you is less than a penny to me.
It means almost nothing to me." 
The man then asked, "So God, can I have a million dollars?" 
God replied, "In a second."

I would too, and then I would take a very deep breath or four, and know if I didn't belong there, I wouldn't be there-----which is why you are going and I am not. :)
