Sis sent on FB

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 u 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 & I had to wait
God: Hmmmmm
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 off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & 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 & I had to send one
of My 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 & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
Me (embarrassed):Okay
God: Your phone went dead bcuz 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 short that would knock 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 & 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...

Just happened on this one. It's really good.

Too many times we get so tied up in ourselves we fail to see things from God's point of view.

I like it and may "borrow" it.

Thanks for posting it Bobitis.

For me, "may borrow it", won't work. I already took it.

Outstanding, Bob!
This is ANOTHER one that I missed due to my vacation absence -

So true, too -
How many times when we were out on the bike did I GRUMBLE and GROUCH about some hold-up in the morning keeping us from getting the early start that I like?
Then in SEVERAL of those cases, we came upon a wreck that we could have been involved in, or evidence of a storm we could have been caught in, or baracades around a pot-hole that were not there earlier?

It is to the point that I have ALMOST quit complaining about anything - -
