A man walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water.
The bartender reached under the counter, grabbed a shotgun and fired it in the man’s direction, narrowly missing his head.
The man thanked the bartender and walked out satisfied.
Why?
He had the hiccups!
Sometimes in life we have a problem.
Sometimes we think we know what the solution should be for our problem.
Most often, the actual solution comes in unexpected ways from unexpected sources.
When that happens, don’t stand your ground and demand the solution that you thought you needed.
Don’t complain that God didn’t answer your prayer because He didn’t respond as you expected.
Just say thanks and move on.

I like it.
Just tweeted, too good to keep to myself!
Thanks Darren. It’s always the unexpected that we find harder to take notice of when we have a problem. We just need to be alert…
