Sometimes the bad is for the best.

This was an e-mail forwarded to me by my mom. I've posted about it's message before. A reminder.

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 you mean?
Me: Well, I woke up late,  My car took forever to start, At lunch they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait, On the way home my phone went dead just as I picked up a call, And on top of all that, when I got home I just wanted to soak my feet in my new foot massager and relax, but it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did you do that?
God: Well, let me see. The Death Angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of the other angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that.  
 -I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
-The person who made your first sandwich today was sick and I didn't want you to catch what he has. I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
-Your phone went dead because the person who was calling was going to give false witness about what you said during that call. I didn't even let you talk to them so that you would be covered.
-Oh, and that foot massager had a short that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me: I'm sorry God.
God: Don't be sorry, just learn to trust me in all things, the good and the bad.
And don't doubt that MY plan for your day is always better than your plan.
Me: I won't, God. And let me just tell you God, thank you for everything today.
God: You're welcome, child. It was just another day being your God, and I love looking after my children.

So I'm gonna go on and think that all those wrong and/or missed  turns I make in the car is God protecting me and not me losing my mind.  


Luv ya,
