A LETTER FROM GOD
Dear Friend,
As you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would talk to me,
even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for
something good that happened in your life yesterday. But I noticed you were
too busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear.
When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few
minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy. At one point you
had to wait fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. Then I saw
you spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to talk to me but you ran to the
phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip instead. I watched patiently
all day long. With all your activities I guess you were too busy to say anything
to me.
I noticed that before lunch you looked around, maybe you felt embarrassed to
talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head. You glanced three or four
tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before
they ate, but you didn't. That's okay. There is still more time left, I told myself.
You went home and it seemed you had lots of things to do. After a few of
them were done, you turned on the TV. I don't know if you like TV or not, just
about anything goes and you spend a lot of time each day in front of it not
thinking about anything, just enjoying the show. I waited patiently again as
you watched the TV and ate your meal, but again you didn't talk to me.
At bedtime, I guess you felt too tired. After you said goodnight to your family
you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time. That's okay because you may
not realize that I am always there for you. I've got patience, more than you will
ever know. I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well.
I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or thought, or a
thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.
Well, you are getting up once again. Once again I will wait, with nothing but
love for you. Hoping that today you will give me some time.
Have a nice day!
Your friend,
GOD
