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
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 without
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 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 seemed 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 & 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
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 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 you wouldn't have to take my place. I love you so much that I
wait everyday for a nod, prayer, 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.

Have a nice day!

Your friend,
Jesus
