As you got up this morning.....

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 wear.

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 instead. I
watched patiently all day long. With all our 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 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 and 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 once again. 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,

GOD
