A Letter From A Friend

 

 

 

 

    To you,

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.
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 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 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 good night 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.

               Your friend,
                     GOD

Have You Talked to God today?
Do you know how?
He is the best friend you could,
would, should ever have.
Take time to talk to Him today.
You don't need a special place or time
Though it is nice sometimes
to just be alone you and Him
but you can talk to Him in your heart
No matter where you are
Will you take a minute just say...

I Love You Father,
and I thank You for everything You do for me
Thank You for always being here with me
Thank You for watching over me and my family
Amen

Now see that wasn't very hard was it?

Our Father loves us so much
and is with us and does for us everyday
He takes care of things and has for so long
Sometimes we take for granted the things He does
We don't mean to but He does it all the time
so we let the cares of this world blind
or switch our focus off
of who He is and that without Him
we would be nothing
So make sure you take sometime everyday
Reflect on Who Jesus is in your life
and what He means to you.
