HERES A LETTER FROM MY DAD WICH HE RECIEVED FROM GOD
LETTER FOM GOD
TO:YOU
I AM GOD. TODAY I WILL BE HOLDING ALL OF YOUR PROBLEMS PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I DO NOT NEED YOUR HELP.
IF YOU HAPPEN TO DELIVER A SITUATION TO YOU THAT YOU CANT HANDLE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE IT. KINDLY PUT IT IN THE SFGTD(SOMETHING FOR GOD TO DO)BOX.
IT WILL BE ADRESSED IN MY TIME, NOT YOURS. ONCE THE MATTER IS PLACED INTO THE BOX, DO NOT HOLD ON TO IT.
IF YOU FIND YOURSELF STUCK IN TRAFFIC; DONT DESPAIR. THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD FOR WHOM DRIVING AN UNHEARD OF PRIVILEGE.
SHOULD YOU HAVE A BAD DAY AT WORK; THINK OF THE MAN WHO HAS BEEN OUT FOR YEARS.
SHOULD YOU DESPAIR OVER A RELATIONSHIP GONE BAD; THINK OF THE PERSON WHO HAS NEVER KNOWN WHAT ITS LIKE TO LOVE AND BE LOVED IN RETURN.
SHOULD YOU GRIEVE THE PASSING OF ANOTHER WEEKEND; THINK OF THE WOMEN IN DIRE STRAITS, WORKING TWELVE HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK TO FEED HER CHILDREN.
SHOULD YOUR CAR BRAKE DOWN, LEAVING YOU MILES AWAY FROM ASSISTANCE;THINK OF THE PARAPLEGIC WHO WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THAT WALK.
SHOULD YOU NOTICE A NEW GRAY HAIR IN THE MIRROR; THINK OF THE CANCER PATIENT IN CHEMO WHO WISHES SHE HAD HAIR TO EXAMINE.
SHOULD YOU FIND YOURSELF AT A LOSS AND PONDERING WHAT IS LIFE ABOUT,ASK WHAT IS MY PURPOSE? BE TAHNKFUL. THERE ARE THOSE WHO DIDNT LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO GET THE OPPORTUNITY. SHOULD YOU FIND YOURSELF THE VICTIM OF OTHER PEOPLE'S BITTERNESS, IGNORANCE, SMALLNESS OR INSECURITIES; REMEMBER THINGS COULD BE WORSE.
I LOVE MY DAD HE GAVE ME EVERY THING HE HELPED ME EVERYTIME I ASKED HIM TO HE WILL ALWAYZ BE REMEMBERED IN MY HEART IM DEDICATING EVERYTHING I DO GOOD FOR THE THE REST OF MY LIFE TO HIM I LOVE YOU DAD R.I.P
