A letter from someone special
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 to busy trying to find the right
outfit to put on and wear to work.
I waited again. 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.
I watched as you went to work and I waited 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 at 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, and I have hope that you will talk
to me yet. You went home and it seems as if 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. 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.
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 again and 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
