Letter to Him.
Hi God:
How are you? ..I write to say hello and because I need some supplies, the “daily needs” You sent with me when I came to this world are almost gone after all these years.
For example, patience has ran out almost completely, same with prudence and tolerance. I have few hopes left and the jar of faith is close to empty and imagination is scarce on my end. Also, I must mention that there are some things I do not need anymore, like dependence and that easiness to throw tantrums…oh that’s something that has gotten me in trouble and has brought many bitterness.
So, Lord, if it’s not much to ask, I’d like a few things:
For starters, I’d likefor You to refill the flasks of both, patience and tolerance (but all the way to the top please), along with that please send me the interactive DVDs on “How to be more prudent” vol. 1, 2 and 3. Father, send my way big bags, I mean BIG, of maturity that is much needed. I’d appreciate if You’d send me a trunk full of smiles, those that can cheer up any day. I’m also asking You two big, heavy stones; so I can tie them to my feet and have them always on the ground. If you have somewhere an extra compass to guide me and show me the right way, I’d be forever thankful.
Lord, grant me imagination, once again; but not too many, because I shall confess that sometimes I had a high dose and my tummy hurt. Wishful thinking and a double helping of faith and hope wouldn’t be a bad idea either. I also want to ask for a color palette, to paint my life when I see it gray and dull; don’t forget to send me a trash can, it’d be useful to throw away everything that’s making me sick. Oh, and God, I’m in much need of a big bottle of Neosporin and lots of Band-aids to heal my heart, because lately, I’ve tripped a lot and the poor thing has plenty of scratches.
I know times are hard, but if You can, send me a new hard drive, because my brain is full of information and I need space to save up some more. Lots of carrots, for a good sight & being able to see the good in life, also to act before opportunities pass right in front of these tired eyes of mine. Beloved Father, I need a big clock, HUMONGOUS, for each time I see it, it’ll remind me that time goes by and I shouldn’t waste it.
Can you send me lots of strenght and the ability to believe in myself? I know I’m gonna need it to get through the hard times that lay ahead and to stand up after every fall. A pack of pills, those that make willpower & determination grow, so I do good in life; I ask for three or four tons of “will to live”, to accomplish my dreams. I know I’m asking for a lot, but Lord, I’d love for You to send me a pen with extra ink, so I’m able to write down what I’ve done and what I haven’t.
But more than anything, I ask for a bunch of life, to achieve all I have in mind and, when the day comes, I’d have something to take to You and show I didn’t misspend my time here on Earth. Beforehand I thank You for whatever you can send and I’m forever in debt for all You sent the first time.
With love,
V.
