An E-Mail from God

 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 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.
  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 too 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,  
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 there
& you spent 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.
