Memo from God:
I am God. Today I will be handling all of your
problems. Please remember that I do not need your
help. If life happens to deliver a situation to you
that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it
-kindly put it in the SFGTD (Something for God to do)
box. It will be addressed in My time, not yours. Once
the matter is placed into the box, do not hold on to
it. If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't
despair. There are people in this world for whom
driving is an unheard of privilege. Should you have a
bad day at work, think of the man who has been out of
work for years. Should you despair over a relationship
gone bad, think of the person who has never known what
it's like to love and be loved in return. Should you
grieve the passing of another weekend, think of the
woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day
seven days a week to feed her children. Should your
car break down, leaving you miles away from
assistance, think of the paraplegic who would love the
opportunity to take that walk if he could. Should you
notice a new gray hair in the mirror, think of the
cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to
examine. Should you find yourself at a loss,
wondering what life is all about, asking 'what is my
purpose' be thankful for your life; there are those
who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity to ponder these questions. Should you find yourself the victim of her people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities, remember, that things could be worse. You could be them.
Even if you're not a religious person, it's still hard to deny that this memo has a point to it... No matter how bad you might think you have things, there's always someone who's worse off than you -in one way or another.
