Default Something to get you through( religious nature)

My mother sent this to me last night while I was at work. Many of my friends here are suffering the trials and tribulations of life.

Whispers

The man whispered, "God, speak to me" and a meadowlark sang.



But, the man did not hear.

So the man yelled, "God, speak to me" and the thunder rolled across the sky.

But, the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said, "God let me see you." And a star shined brightly

But the man did not see.

And, the man shouted, "God show me a miracle." And, a life was born,

But, the man did not notice.
So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are here."
Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man. But, the man brushed the butterfly away

and walked on.

I found this to be a great reminder that God is always around us in the little and simple things that we take for granted ... even in our electronic age.

So I would like to add one more:

The man cried, "God, I need your help!" And an e-mail arrived reaching out with good news and encouragement


But, the man deleted it and continued crying .

Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.


Andi

Thanks,
My mother is dying of Leiomyosarcoms,a very rare and agressive cancer, its also incureable. She takes one day at a time as shes already living on borrowed time. She tries to see all the blessings that God has given her, of many there are. We also live one day at a time and try to take time to smell the roses and find what God is showing us. The whispers God send are the best of all.
Andi

Andi I'm very sorry to hear about your mother and will keep her in my prayers! How true that is, we miss so many blessings because we're not open to God's "whispers".
