Just asking
Me: God, can I ask you a question?
God : Sure.
Me: Promise you won't get mad.
God : I promise.
Me: 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: At lunch they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait.
God : Huummm.
Me: On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call.
God : All right.
Me: And on top of it all, when I got home I just wanted to soak my feet
in my new foot massager and relax, but it wouldn't work!!!
Nothing went right today! Why did you do that?
God : 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 would have hit you if you were on the road.
Me: (ashamed)
God : The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I didn't
want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
Me: (embarrassed): Ok...
God : Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going
to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk
to them so you would be covered.
Me: (softly) I see God.
God : Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw
out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to
be in the 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 : 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 God, thank you for everything today.
God : You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God, and I
love looking after my children.
Me: God, can I ask you a question?
God : Sure.
Me: Promise you won't get mad.
