Who Did It?

Just as I arrived home after working the night shift, my wife told me to go check out our five-year-old son's bed. When I entered Jimmie's room, I saw that his bed had collapsed and the mattress was sitting on the floor. "What happened?" I asked him. He responded, "God did it."

Interesting, I thought, and went back to tell my wife. Laughing she said that when she had heard the crash, she ran into Jimmie's room, saying, "Oh God, what have you done now?"

Love it! When I saw the title, I thought probably me.

I have been so stressed over the computer and not being able to get on line, the other day, I called the cable TV server for my internet, only to embarrass myself to find that I had dialed the wrong number. I needed to dial Ma Bell.

Today I picked up the adapter, plugged it in and the lights didn't go on. So I called to tell them it didn't work. I was sure that I had not shut down my computer, but what I hadn't considered what that it had shut down while I was away and was in sleep mode, and I had to wake it up. With a little egg on my face and a little chagrin, I apologized for taking up her time.

Couldn't blame it on God, even though I invite Him into my day, I know when I do things like that, I am not grounded and tapped in. May have a short fuse, or a screw loose, because I had to do some finagling with some wires, but my God is loving, caring, forgiving, patient, and kind. So many times He has to save me from myself, and I and each day, I need to be grateful that He is there, and all I have to do is reach out and ask for help.

Sometimes it just takes a few deep breathes, to sit still and find the quiet. Instead of rushing in and just doing, instead of taking that time to get centered and going with the flow, I end up going half cocked or chasing my tail, or reacting instead of acting with purpose, following God's will for me.

It is a great gift to be able to laugh at myself. As I have said before, "I am sure my God often looks at me and shakes His Head and says, "Oh No, here We go again...!"
