"A Memo"
Well, this starts out very unrealistic...but I like it anyway, so keep reading! In times of turbulence, genuine solace can be the light...
------------------------
Today, I will be handling all of your problems.
Please remember that I do not need your help.
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you can not handle, do not attempt to
resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (Something for God to Do) box.
It will be addressed in my time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box,
do not hold onto it.
If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair. There are people in this world for
whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work, think of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should you despair over a relationship gone badly, think of the person who has never known
what it's like to love and be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend, think of the woman in dire straits, who
works twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.
Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance, think of the physically
challenged person who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
Should you notice a new grey hair in the mirror, think of those who have no hair at all.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my
purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or
insecurities, remember things could be worse. You could be them.
Signed: God
God moves in a mysterious way. His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm.
---William Cowper
