You:
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 - guess
you were too busy to say anything to me. I noticed that before lunch
you looked around - maybe you were too embarrassed to talk to me and
that is why you didn't bow your head.
You glanced to three or four tables and you noticed some of your
friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn't.
That's okay. There is still some time left and I 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 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 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, thought,
or a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided
conversation. Well, you are getting up once 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
