Today it's a cactus...

"One day, there was a man who asked God for a flower and a butterfly. But instead, God gave him a cactus and a caterpillar. The man was sad. He didn't understand why his request had been misunderstood. But he decided not to question it but just trust that God knew what he was doing. After a while the man went to check up on the request he had long ago forgotten. To his surprise the thorny and ugly cactus had a beautiful flower growing on it and the unsightly caterpillar had become the most beautiful butterfly.
God ALWAYS does things right! He is ALWAYS the best way, even if, to us, it seems all wrong. If you asked God for one thing, and received another... Trust. You can be sure that he will always give you what you need at the appropriate time. What you want is not always what you need. Today's thorn is tomorrow's flower! God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to him!"
Someone sent me this story in my email and I thought I would share it. Hope it was a blessing. :)
