Letter Twenty~Five from God

Letter  TWENTY-FIVE

Dear Child:

You are now asleep.  Rest well, for I’m on guard duty.

I watched you today as you struggled against the world.  I saw your frustrations.  I heard the tension in your voice.  I saw you try to make sense of the stuff of life today. 

And now, you’ve finally drifted off to sleep. 

I’m hovering overhead.  If you opened your eyes, you might catch a glimpse of gossamer wings fluttering nearby.  That is my special angel just for you for tonight. 

Rest your troubles with me.  Wrestle not.  Cast them off just as if they were heavy sacks of potatoes that you might plop down on the kitchen counter. 

Lay down your burdens. 

Tomorrow is coming.  There is hope in tomorrow. 

I’ll be there tomorrow, as I was today.  Tomorrow you’ll have a fresh supply of energy, wisdom, and good sense.  And I’ll be by your side.

Sleep soundly, my child. 

Tomorrow you will have the strength and food you need.

I’m in charge tonight.  That is all you need to know.

God,

Letter Ten

Dear Child

Do you like yourself?

Do you think kind thoughts toward yourself? 

Remember, no one can make you feel low without your permission.  Look up, lift up your thoughts.  Repeat some of these thoughts to yourself each day.

~I am somebody. 

~I am made in the image 

   of a good and righteous God. 

~I am important to God.

Remember this: “As a woman/man thinks, so are they.”

You are an exceptional creation of mine.  Always remember that.

Dear Child

Sometimes, if you could turn down the chatter in your life we could talk more.  I’ve got so much to say to you.  Come to the quiet.

I am peace and quiet.

You live in noise.

I am calm.

You live with action. 

Go!  Go!  Go!  That’s you.

Sometimes I want you to stop life’s merry-go-round and just be.  There’s nothing I love more than being present with you.

What I want to say most of all is this; you are the cherry on the top of my sundae.  That’s what I think of you. 

I knew you even before your birth.  I’ve watched you grow up. 

You used to call to me.  Remember?  I responded then.  And I’ll respond now. 

Sometime, when you have fifteen minutes, why don’t we head for the hammock together?  Leave your iGadgets behind.  Let’s just be together and talk.

Come to the quiet place beside me.

Dear Child:

Do you know that sometimes I laugh out loud? 

I watched one of my little ones on the beach just yesterday.  His blonde hair, tanned arms and face made me smile.  And when he ran to his mommy, he giggled and laughed, and jumped into her arms.  The wedding of her open arms and his love made my day.  I couldn’t help myself. 

I laughed out loud. 

Just as I made the proud peacock and the stately lion, I made all of creation.  It is all for your good pleasure.

Sometimes, you make me laugh.  You fret, your stew, your anguish over the stuff of life and you never come near me.  I can help, you know.

But you stew while I stand nearby. 

Come to me.  Let’s go away to a safe, beautiful and carefree place, just for an hour.  Let us laugh and dance, and let us wash your cares away in bursts of giggles, guffaws, and snorts of laughter.
