I came home after a rotten day at work, I didn’t really have anything to take my frustrations out on so, I chose my glasses. They were dirty. A bit crooked and I could barely see through them. This simple thing finally sent me over the edge. I know, glasses right?
I opened up my back door, walked out on the deck, took my glasses off and threw them as hard as I could out in the yard. Satisfied that the glasses would no longer be bothering me, I turned and walked back inside, slamming the door on my way in.
I made a pot of coffee, which seems to always settle my nerves a bit. Not making the coffee, drinking the coffee. Oh and Yeah. Throwing the glasses didn’t really solve anything. In fact, as I was making the coffee, I could see another problem arising. But, I managed to get the coffee going and made my way to the living room and plopped down on the couch.
I turned on the TV to the news or something, can’t quite remember what it was and after a few minutes of relaxing, hearing the coffee gurgling in the kitchen it’s aroma wafting through the house, I started to realize what I had done. I had basically just took $300.00 and thrown it out the door for no apparent reason and now, I had no glasses and I still had the same problems I had before.
I made my way back to the kitchen and fixed a cup of coffee. Came back to the living room, set the coffee down on my table, turned the TV off and I knelt down at my couch. I then started to pray.
I asked for God to please bring my glasses back in. After about an hour of praying God never answered my prayers. He just didn’t care enough about me to bring my glasses in. I finally gave up and decided to go out and look for them myself.
As I went through the back door, I managed to pray to God to help me find my glasses and it wasn’t long before He answered that prayers. He found them where I threw them.
WAIT WAIT! No,No, No…I’m kidding! None of that story is true at all. But, how many similar stories have we heard? What do you think when you hear them? Both are a bit far fetched you think? Is there a happy medium? I have my opinions but I’m really more interested in yours.
I know that you will not have a relationship with God if you do not pray to Him, talk to Him. No relationship is built without communication, so please don’t take this post to say that I don’t think God answer’s prayers. If you get that feeling, read some of my previous posts, k.
Please don’t hurt me
Because of HIM
