An Unprogrammed Conversation
God: Hey, nice to see you. I see that you aligned yourself with the light.
Me:
Yeah, I usually sit at the end of the bench so I can rest my arm
occasionally on the side but this morning that spot was taken.
God: Cool, it’s good to move around. It offers a different perspective.
Me:
Yeah, this is the first time I sat in this particular spot and the
light really has me focused. Sometimes my mind drifts, you know.
God: Yeah, I know what you mean but if you focus and listen, you’ll be fine.
Me:
That’s what I try to tell myself. When I look at the stage, I can
feel your presence. It’s like you’re in the middle speaking to us and
we’re at your side following the spoken words.
God: Yeah, that is a nice visual, I like it. I notice that food is being collected for the food bank -- macaroni and cheese and tuna fish. Yumm!!! If you want to have an incredible heavenly meal – just add peas. When
you were thinking about standing up and sharing your visual
interpretation of the scene before you, I was excited. But then you
didn’t.
Me: I felt I needed more time.
God: It would
have been alright but I must admit I really liked your proposal to
recreate the scene at another time and write something. That was a
great move and if I was giving out points, you would have gotten a bunch
but you know me, my playing field is level. By the way, how did you like my follow up?
Me: I thought it was so you.
God:
I just couldn’t resist placing a pencil on your path home especially
after you mentioned to a few people the previous week that you haven’t
seen a pencil on the ground for a few months. I was sure that you would
hear me laughing. Just a little reminder. Sometimes we all need them.
Me: Yeah, you’re right, I can’t argue with you. Anyway, you are always right.
God:
Well, another hour has passed and it was really nice to have this
conversation with you. Remember, I am always here 24/7, 365 – oh, this
year is 366. Adjustments can be annoying sometimes. By the way, the
sticker you saw yesterday in that car window was right on the money.
“God is having a good day”. I sure was and I hope you always have good
days. Later!!
Oh, that wacky God and his little signs! I enjoyed this article, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI adore this. Every single word. And especially "I thought it was so you!" Perfection.
ReplyDeleteGreat read ... thank you.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
How good is this, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSeems strange this: but, my best friend cousins husband was the founder of the Quakers :) though not one himself..
God created us to have a good sense of humor after Him. I love this. Enjoyable read!
