I read this on a Facebook friend's (and sister in Christ) page.  It felt like I could have been having this conversation with God myself.  I take His mercies for granted so often.  I felt the emotions as I was reading the reply back to the question.  

 Though I have gotten better about my reactions I still see this as a good reminder that I still fail to consistently thank the Lord for the thorns in my day.  

  

 An interesting conversation with God.

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.
God: Yes.
Me: My car took forever to start.
God: Okay.
Me: At lunch they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait.
God: Hmmm.
Me: On the way home my phone went dead just as I picked up a call.
God: Okay.
Me: 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 Answers:
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.
Me: (humbled): OH...
GOD: 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.
Me: (ashamed)
God: 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.
Me: (embarrassed): Ok...
God: 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.
Me: (softly) I see, God.
God: 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.
Me: I will trust you.
God: 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.
Keep this going if you believe in HIM.
You never know who needs to receive this message.

 

  Thank you God for new mercies every morning. Thank you for being my God for allowing such a sinner to become a part of your family.  Claiming the blood of Jesus, Amen.
