The Genie and Three Wishes

Someone recently asked me if I had a genie that granted three wishes what would they be? I found it extremely hard to think what I could ask for. I'm not really accustomed to asking for things and receiving them. Dad was a very generous man but he found it hard to express his emotions. He was brought up as an orphan and was abused. He never felt he could get close because of it. Mum went back to college when I was five and granny (to whom I was close) died when I was seven. I grew up longing for hugs! Consequently I became very graceless when Dad wanted to give me things to show his love. I still find it hard to receive - even if it's form God. Don't get me wrong - I love my parents and I know they love me, but life leaves us scarred in ways that only the great Healer can mend.

Having thought long and hard about the question these were the three things I came up with:

1. Freedom to accept what God wants to give me
2. An inheritance to give to my sucessors
3. To be a blessing to others

I have no clue about how I can let these things happen in my life other than to pray. I've been praying number three and I believe that is happening now. Number two is a way off but I can see it - number three is the biggy and will need a lot of prayer, some healing and plenty of time.
