"Oh, I see" said Garry, "I prayed for a hockey stick and you
came and offered me some pocket-money, and so did Mum. That was God's
way of answering my prayers. How silly I was!" "Don't worry," said
Dad, "It's quite common. Many people think God is like Santa Claus,
just throwing presents to anyone who asks for something, but He's not
like that at all. He wants us to use our initiative, and spot the
opportunities when they come along."
