Have you ever thought about what it would be like to walk in someone else’s shoes for a day?
Maybe it’s a chance to experience the pressures of their everyday life or see the world from their perspective.
One man decided to take things into his hands and pray in a day to change his role with his wife. Another thing that happened was much more than he expected – and an unforgettable empathy lesson.
He prayed, “Dear Lord: I go to work every day and give in eight hours while my wife stays only at home. I want to know what I’m going through. So, let her body switch to my body for one day.”
God in his endless wisdom has given a man a wish. The following morning, sure, the man woke up as a woman … He got up, cooked breakfast for his partner, woke up his children, released school clothes, fed them, wrapped lunch, took them to school, came home and lifted them into the cleaner, took it in the cleaner to put it in, paid off.
The buyers and settled for accounts and settled with the account and settled for pieces and dealt with the kitchens and dealt with the accounts and excluded accounts and excluded accounts and settled with the account and excluded accounts and excluded font and built accounts and excluded font. He cleaned the cat’s garbage box and bathed the dog.
Then it was 13:00. And he rushed to make beds, washing linen, vacuum, dust and sweeping and mop kitchen floors. He ran to school to pick up the children and argued with them on his way home. He released milk and biscuits and had the children organized their homework. Then he built the iron and watched the television while ironing.
At 4:30 he began to peel potatoes and wash vegetables for salad, feared pork chops and chopped fresh beans for dinner. After dinner he cleaned the kitchen, lowered the dishwasher, folded the laundry, bathed children and put them in bed. He was exhausted at 9 am, and although his daily work was not completed, he went to sleep, where he was expected to love, which he managed to go through without complaint.
The following morning he woke up and knelt at the bed immediately and said, “Lord, I don’t know what I thought. I was so wrong to envy that my wife was able to stay at home all day. Please Oh! Please go back. Amen!”
The Lord replied in his endless wisdom, “My son, I feel that you have learned a lesson and likes to change things back on how they were. But you have to wait nine months. You got pregnant last night.”
Why not share today? Whether it is a friend, a family member or even a stranger, leave the laughter an echo and brighten one’s day.

In his endless wisdom, God complied with the request of man. The next morning the man woke up in his wife’s body.
The day started cooking breakfast for his husband, awakened the children and prepared them for school. He made sure they were eating, packed lunch and took them to school before they went home to pick up dry cleaning.
