The genie grants you a wish. What is it?
Oh, I am so tempted to say the genie grants me a wish for billions of dollars. I could ask for health, but I don’t plan to live forever. I could ask for world peace, but men have been fighting each other since creation, so I’m not sure that’s possible. I could ask for everyone to know that God loves them, but most already know, and it’s their choice to accept it or not. So.. money.
I would like to have money because I would like to try to make things better. I’d like to try to improve my town, especially for children. I’d like to try to feed people and build wells in poor countries. I would like to have schools built, in America and abroad. I would like to facilitate the migration of people who can’t afford to leave a city or country. I would have parks, swimming pools, basketball courts built everywhere for children, along with providing musical instruments and small theaters for plays. I would pay for necessary surgeries and treatments for people who can’t afford them. I would pay for quality child care for women who need it. I would fund medical research and give to organizations that try to preserve the earth.
I could go on and on and on, but there’s no genie and all I have are dreams.
