Why things happen

A conversation with G-d:

Me: G-d, can I ask You a question?

G-d: Sure

Me: You won’t get angry?

G-d: I won't

Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?

G-d: What do you mean?

Me: Well, I woke up late

G-d: Yes

Me: My car took forever to start

G-d: Okay

Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait

G-d: Huummm

Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call

G-d: All right

Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want 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?

G-d: Let Me see, the Angel of Death was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that

Me (humbled): OH

G-d: 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)

G-d: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick. I didn’t want you to catch what they have, and I knew you couldn’t afford to miss work.

Me (embarrassed):Okay

G-d: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn’t even let you talk to them so you would be covered.

Me (softly): I see, Hashem

G-d: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage 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, Hashem

G-d: Don’t be sorry, just learn to Trust Me…. in All things , the good and the seemingly bad.

Me: I will trust You.

G-d: And don’t doubt that My plan for your day is always better than your plan.

Me: I won’t, Hashem. And let me just tell You Hashem, thank You for everything today.

G-d: You’re welcome child. It was just another day being your G-d and I love looking after My Children…
