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 to busy trying to find the right outfit to put
on and wear to work or class. I waited again. When you ran
around the house or dorm 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 w/ 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 school and work and I waited patiently all day long. With all
your activities, I guess you were too busy all day 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,
and I have hope that you will talk to me even 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 or the net; I don't know if I
like TV or computers or not, just about anything goes there
& you spend a lot of time each day in front of them, not
thinking about anything-just enjoying the show. I waited
patiently again as you watched 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 w/
others as well. Because I love you so much, a long time ago I
left a wonderful place called Heaven and came to Earth. I gave
it up so that I could be ridiculed and made fun of. and I even
died so you wouldn't have to take my place. I love you so much
that I wait everyday for a nod, praise 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!
Love Always, Your
Friend,
God
