This is a heartening tale that is a reminder we could all use. When you feel like things aren't going as they should, read this.
 Me: God, can I ask you a question? God : Sure Me : Promise You won't get mad….. God : I promise Me : Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today? God : What do you mean? Me : Well, I woke up late God : Yes Me : My car took forever to start God : Okay Me : at lunch they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait God : Hmmmmm Me : On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call God : All right Me : And on top of it all off, when I got home ~ I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager and relax. But it would not work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that? God : Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of my angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that. Me (humbled) : OH God : I did not let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road. Me : (ashamed) God : The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I did not want you to catch what they have, I knew you could not afford to miss work. Me (embarrassed) : Okay God : Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I did not even let you talk to them so you would be covered. Me (softly) : I see God God : Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I did not think you wanted to be in the dark. Me : I'm Sorry God God : Don't be sorry, just learn to trust Me.... in All things , the Good and the bad. Me : I will trust You. God : And don't doubt that My plan for your day is always better than your plan. Me : I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today. God : You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I love looking after my children. |
