A genie has just granted you 3 wishes. What does your heart desire?

Every beauty pageant will wish for world peace. Really.
NGOs will want more food to feed the hungry.
The materialistic will want more money and material possessions.
The famous will want more fame and recognition.
The timber tycoons and green advocates will wish for more trees. Of course, both with different agendas.
The average Jo will first wish for 100 more wishes (hah! how typical)
And oh, Ken will wish for a permanent reconciliation with Barbie.

As for me, I hope I'll never bump into a genie.

Sometimes, I think what we want might not be right. However noble the thought. Whatever happens I believe, happens for a reason. However tragic, bleak and horrible, I believe things have to happen to precipitate another event. Who are we to determine what's right? Especially when we have limited knowledge of the works.
...
Perhaps, ... just so perhaps, I might just wish for a contented heart to bring me through the good and bad times.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11
