God Speaks (even in movies!)

Finally watched "Evan Almighty" last night. I really liked it - the messages about family. Tough times here at home continue but there was a line in the movie that struck me and made me laugh and cry at the same time. God (Morgan Freeman - who else?) talks to Evan's wife at a diner after she and the kids left Evan due to his wackyness of building an ark. She doesn't know it is God but one of the things he told her was this: "if someone prays for patience, does God just give them patience or more opportunities to be patient?...if someone asks to bring their families closer together, does God just zap them with warm fuzzy feelings? Or, does He give them more opportunities to love one another?". Think about it. You know what, I have always thought that God doesn't get enough credit for being the ultimate comedian and still talk with infinite wisdom. Well, it was only a silly movie, but I seriously believe that God was speaking to me at that moment while pretending to be God in a movie speaking to someone who didn't know it was Him! (ok, read it again...now you know why I thought it was funny - the setting was absurd!). Anyway, it was something I needed to hear. Our family is coming together. We are at a point where opportunity is knocking at the door. How will it be answered?
