A Message......

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 to 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
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 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 & you spent 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 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.

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 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
