"Dear Friend,
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 put
on
and wear to work. I waited again. 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 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. I
watched as you went to work and I waited patiently all day long.
With
all
your activities, I guess you were too busy to say anything to me.
I
noticed
that before your lunch you looked around, maybe you felt
embarrassed
to
talk to me, that is why 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 have hoped that you will
talk to
me
even 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 I
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 TV and ate your meal but
again
you
didn't talk to me. As you did your paperwork I waited again you
did
what
you had to do. At bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you
said
goodnight 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. Because I love you so
much, a
long
time ago I left a wonderful placed called Heaven and came to
Earth. I
gave
it up so that I could be ridiculed and made fun of. And I even
died so
you
wouldn't have to take my place. I love you so much that I wait
everyday for
a nod, prayers or thought or a thankful part of your heart. It is
hard
to
have a one-sided conversation. Well you are getting up again and
once
again
I will wait with nothing but love for you, hoping that today you
will
give
me some time.
P.S. Do you have enough time to send this to another
person?"
