ARE YOU TOO BUSY?

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 too
busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear.

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 instead. I watched 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 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 and you spend 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.

At bedtime, I guess you felt too tired. After you said good
night 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 every day for a nod, a prayer
or a thought, a thankful place in your heart. It is hard to have
a one-sided conversation.

Well, you are getting up once again. 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 Creator, GOD
