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 school. 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 minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair.
Then I saw you spring to your feet. It 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 school 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
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 have hope 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 homework 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 more patience more
than anyone 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 place 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 that you wouldn't have to
take my place.
I love you so much that I wait every day for a nod, a prayer, a
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 I will wait with
nothing but love for you hoping that today you will give me some time.
Have a nice day!
Your Friend,
Jesus
