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 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 still
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 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. I don't know if
I 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 TV and ate your
meal, but again you
didn't talk to me. As you read the paper, I waited again
while you did what you had to do.
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 with 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, prayers 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, Jesus
P.S. Do you have enough time to send this to another person?
