Friend
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?
