Letter from God

As a newly registered user, (yay me) I give to you this......enjoy!



To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: GOD
Subject:YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE
This is God.Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day.
I love you.
P.S.
And, remember...
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself !! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.
If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.
Should your car break 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 all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't 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. You could be one of them!
Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you, you may have touched their life in ways you will never know!
Now, you have a nice day,

God

OK god I can't afford my rent and coucil tax, thanks for taking care of it for me. I'll address any further problems with bills direct to you.

[Fiver]

Dear God,
I think I'll actually try to handle things by myself, thanks.

PS
Should you be in a situation where someone won't follow your advice, think of the poor god that no one follows anymore.

[Dropbear]

Dear God,

thanks for the offer but I'll pass on your help - perhaps this will allow you to concentrate on other issues like say, oooh I don't know - religious wars? floods/fires/famine/snow-storms? plagues? the odd tsunami?

Have you heard of prioritisation?

So, get off the freaking computer and stop sending me dimwitted memos and do something meaningful.

I tried the SFGTD approach one year.

My car started making a horrible sound. I didn't call a mechanic, I put it in my SFGTD box. I got made redundant, but I didn't need to worry about getting another job, I put it in my SFGTD box. After a while, since we hadn't obviously met God's time yet, I had trouble paying the rent. But I didn't despair, the trusty SFGTD box is always close! When I couldn't drive the car any more because it literally blew up one day, I didn't worry what to do about it there, in the middle of the highway. I called on my SFGTD box and just left it there. The fine duly arrived for abandoning a car on a highway, but I just stuffed the fine into my SFGTD box, since He obviously didn't do that one yet, so He could handle the fine.

I'm doing fine now. No job, no house, no car. But I don't worry about these things. That's for God to do. I'm sure He'll find me a place to stay, and a job, and then I can afford a car. I just need to wait for His Time.

A man said to God, "What's a million years to you?" and God said, "A second."
So the man said to God, "What's a million dollars to you?" and God said, "A penny."
So the man said to God, "Will you give me a penny?" and God said, "Yes I will, in a second."

What I really want to know is, whatever happened to the old adage about God helping those who help themselves?

If life hands you lemons, start a food fight.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Lots of paraplegics have the opportunity to take a walk. It's the inability to do so that gets to them. Normally I would excuse such an error in terminology, but it's FREAKIN' GOD we're talking about here!

I followed that particular piece of advice at the end of my last relationship. I envied that lucky loveless sod for days...

[zman977]

Received this one in the email the other day.


I heard God is sending emails to everyone who has been good and following his word. Did you get yours ?

Me niether.

I did, but I'm trying to figure out whether God is being entirely serious with the whole "forward this to 10 people and I'll pay you $245 per forward" bit at the end.

You know God: The Eternal Prankster.

I'm immediately reminded of someone's sig line: "Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day. Give a man religion and he'll starve to death waiting for God to give him a fish."

It's a pagan saying (specifically from Aesop's "Hercules and the Waggoner").

Well when they arrest you you will stay in jail, work at making license plates. As for the car, well that is a toughie... 2 out of three aint bad...

Oh yeah? Speak for yourself. I happen to be a jobless, loveless, paraplegic woman working 18 hours a day in a sweatshop only to die before I can even comprehend the meaning of the question "What is my purpose?" Who the hell am I supposed to think of? Oh, and thanks a lot, "God".

This just happened to me today. Those bastards at Wendy's put mayo on my Spicy Chicken Sandwich, when I specifically ordered it without mayo, and as I threw it away, I thought of someone who did not have a Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich. And I thought, God is awesome.
But not awesome enough to prevent mayo on my sandwich.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

And when I'm stranded in a deep snow drift during a blizzard and no one can see me or knows I'm missing - just miles away! - and I'm slowly dying over a matter of days from hypothermia, I'll be sure to remember how lucky I am compared to some guy who wishes they were able to walk.

thank-you...
