Once a three year old girl went to the store with her mother who told her, "I can't afford to spend money on chocolate chip cookies, so don't even ask."
She put her
daughter in the child's seat of the cart and picked up her groceries. Passing
the cookie shelves the child asked, "Mom, may I have some chocolate
chip cookies?" She said, "Don't ask." Heading toward
the checkout counter she said again, "Please, Mom, just a few?"
"No," she replied. Waiting in the checkout line she knew that
this was her last chance. She stood up in the cart and called out in her
loudest voice, "Please, please, in the name of Jesus, could I have some
chocolate chip cookies?" Everyone around laughed, but the mother and
child left the store with several gift boxes of chocolate chip cookies.
So, keep on
asking and you will receive; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on
knocking and the door will be opened. (Author unknown)
