Letter from a friend


Dear Friend,


I watched you as you got up this morning.  I have been hoping that you would talk to me soon.  Even if it was just a few words, just to thank me for the good things in your life yesterday or last week. 



I noticed that you were busy selecting the right clothes to wear for your day.  I waited again to hear from you.  You rushed by and grabbed your coffee and off to your office you flew..I thought it will happen now, but you never slowed down. 

I wanted you to know that all the things you have been wanting to accomplish, I can help you.  All those things you have been thinking about today..that time you were sitting there daydreaming, just sipping on your coffee you could have talked to me…I was waiting on you..I waited on you to call on me. 
THEN I saw you pounce to your feet, but it was only to grab the remote control because you had noticed it was time for your favorite show, and it was break time.  You sat quietly mesmerized by that box, as if you were spellbound by the people and they were going to solve your life.  

If only you knew..THEY ARE NOT THE ANSWER.
     
I noticed when it came lunch time you looked around; maybe you were embarrassed to acknowledge me…you glanced and saw two young ladies talking to me before they ate, but you wouldn’t.  Were you ashamed of me?
There was still more time left.  I hoped we could talk. 




You went home and had many things to do laundry, dishes.  You were exhausted after the long day.  After all that was done, you turned on that TV again; and began watching TV and eat your meal, and once again didn’t talk to me. 
 
At bedtime, you said goodnight to your family, and fell into bed, and fell asleep.  I wanted so badly to be part of your day.  

We could have accomplished so much together.  I love you so much that I wait patiently every day for a thought, a prayer, a thanks. 

Maybe tomorrow… I’ll be waiting for you.   
I love you today…I’ll love you always,

Your Friend,
God



Is God begging for your time ?

Of Hens and Humans

  I saw a lot of human characteristics and actions while I sat there on the stoop at my Mama's Ruby's house.  You can learn a lot watching the happenings in a barnyard.   I know I did watching the many adventures of my grandparent's roosters and chickens.   This brought to me, after all of these years, in a featherly way what is common and wrong in the lives of people.   We are a lot like those birds. I have a beautiful group of chickens and roosters. They are all different varieties and colors.   Each one has its own style and personality.   I named one of those beautiful hens, Ellie Mae.  She was a victim of the other chickens’ unfair treatment.  She was a beautiful hen.  I would sit and watch her walk around the grass.  I was sitting on the porch cracking some pecans one day.  We were going to make some pies.   I noticed that sweet Ellie Mae had some feathers missing.   L ater that day, I saw what had ha...

JUST DUST

JUST DUST As I peered down the grocer aisle, there she was.. Standing there with her red pigtails, and fancy hair bows. I wanted to melt into the floor, and fade into the tile.  I was wearing my polyester pant suit that my Aunt Lucy made me... She was wearing store bought clothes; it was just one of the reasons  she thought she was better than me.      And well, some kids at school thought if you didn't have  those fancy store bought things that you didn't match up.   I was just not good enough.  See, my family didn't have all those fancy  things that money could afford. My daddy was a hard worker. He worked from daylight to dark.. He was a carpenter.    My Mama and Daddy gave me and  my brothers a wonderful, loving home.   They provided for us well.  They took us to church. ...

No Not One

NO NOT ONE I was sitting on the doorstep with my friend Sophie one Saturday evening, and I said, “Sophie, ask your Mama if you spend the night at my house tonight.” “Hey, great idea”, she said.   We were only seven years old, and having a sleep over was way cool.   Then she said, “Oh wait, tomorrow is Sunday.   Are you going to go to church?” I said, “Well, yes, of course I am, but you can go with us.   Come on, you will like Sunday School.   It is fun.” “Oh, I don’t know”, she said.   “Why, don’t you want to go”? She said, “I don’t think God wants me in Heaven, I have been too bad.”     I giggled at Sophie, and she gasped..I quickly apologized And gave her a hug..and said: My dear friend My Dear Lord and Savior Gave his precious son’s life blood for you   All of us are too bad for Heaven… But NONE of us are too bad To be FORGIVEN...
