To Dream of Hope

"We dream of hope, we dream of change, of fire, of love, of death. And then it happens; the dream becomes real, and the answer to this quest, this need to solve life's mysteries, finally shows itself like the glowing light of the new dawn.

 

So much struggle for meaning, for purpose. And in the end, we find it only in each other. Our shared experience of the fantastic and the mundane.

 

The simple human need to find a kindred. To connect. And to know in our hearts...

 

That we are not alone!" ~ Heroes

A Conversation With God

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 gave me the wrong sandwich & I had to wait.

God: Ahaan!

Me: On the way home, my phone DIED, just as I was going to pick up a call.

God: hmmmm!

Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home all I wanted to do was 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 angel of death was at your bed this morning & I had to send one of My Angels to battle him for your life. So, 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 who would have hit you if you were on the road.

Me: (ashamed): Ah!

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): Oh, okay!

God: the reason your phone went dead was because the person that was calling was going to give a 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: Oh and that new foot massager you bought.

Me: Yes?

God:  It had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house. And I know you don’t like being in the dark.

 Me: I'm Sorry God.

God: Don't be sorry, just learn to Trust Me.... in all things, whether you considered them to be Good or 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 ummmm, all I can say is Thank You? Thank You for Everything you did today.

God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children...
