She could not say enough good about that thrift store, and the more she
talked about it, the more she smiled. I had accomplished my goal, and I 
was smiling on the outside now. The rest of the trip home was 
enjoyable. 

Before we got home, she said, "I could go for some ice cream. Should we
stop and get some ice cream?" 

I just looked at her, smiled and shook my head. We then stopped, got
some ice cream, and had a wonderful time there. 

"Wasn't that," she said as we started back home, "the best ice cream
we've had in a long time." 

I know when not to answer certain questions, at least I am learning, but
I also know that certain questions are open for response. 

"Yes, my dear," I said as cheerfully as possible, "that was a good idea
you had to get some ice cream." 

The trip ended well because I am learning to negotiate what is a
question and what is not a question. But, you know I still have a long 
way to go, at least I am progressing. My confidence in our relationship 
is growing according to my understanding of the asking challenge I face 
everyday. 

This led me to a verse of scripture in 1 John 5:14 - “And this is the
confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to 
his will, he heareth us” 

I am also learning what to ask and what not to ask when it comes to my
relationship with God. Learning what questions God will answer goes a 
long way in my Christian experience and it saves me a lot of time. Most 
of my prayer time, up until now, has been wasted asking the wrong 
questions.
