I received the following in an email from a friend today, and thought it was well worth sharing:)
Something to think about....
Me: (in a bit of a tizzy) God, can I ask you something?
God: Sure
Me: Promise you won't get mad?
God: I promise.
Me: (frustrated) Why did you let so much stuff happen to me today?
God: What do you mean?
Me: Well, I woke up late,
God: Yes
Me: My car took forever to start,
God: Okay...
Me: (growling) At lunch, they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait!
God: Hmmmm...
Me: On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call.
God: All Right
Me: (loudly) And to top it all off, when I got home, I just wanted to soak my feet
in my foot massager and relax, but it wouldn't work. Nothing went right today!
Why did you do that?
God: Well let me see... the death angel was at your bed this morning and I had to
send one of the other angels to battle him for your life.
I let you sleep through that.
Me: (humbled) Oh...
God: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that
might have hit you if you had been on that road at that time.
Me: (ashamed) .........
God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I didn't want you
to catch what they had, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
Me: (embarrassed) Oh.....
God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give a
false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't let you talk to them
so you would be covered.
Me: (softly) I see, God
God: Oh and the foot massager, it had a short that was going to throw out all the
power in your house. I didn't think you wanted to be in dark.
Me: I'm sorry, God.
God: Don't be sorry, just learn to trust me....in all things, the good and the bad.
Me: I WILL trust you, God.
God: And don't doubt that my plan for your day is always better than your plan.
Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you, "Thank you God, for everything today."
God: You're welcome, My child. It was just another day being your God, and I love
looking after my children.
Hugs & Blessings,
Terry

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; ~ Proverbs 3:5
And again: "I will put my trust in Him." ~ Hebrews 2:13

Amen!! I have been having a rough week to. My van is broke down so I can't go anywhere this week but it's okay. I trust in the Lord!
Thanks for this, just what I needed at a time like this.
What a terrific story, Terry. I could use a lift too. I saw you dive onto my post about 7 minutes after it went up - gotta love that! *grins* We're putting my father-in-law in an independent living facility this coming week, and cleaning out his home. Sadly this is going to be an enormous task because he was a serious paper hoarder. Fortunately I've been itching to clean it for so long that I'm finding plenty of energy. Unfortunately he lives about 200 miles away so I see LOTS of trips back and forth in our future. Wish us luck!
Take care,

A wonderful conversation.
LOVE this, we so often think we know best. God is so good!
