• How many times a day do I check my e-mail? Haha, who knows!!  Every time, I sign into my account with eager anticipation in hopes that someone has written. A long newsy letter, possibly just a quick note to say hi. Or maybe a complete out-pouring of the heart from a close friend, or possibly someone asking for some advice for one of life's situations. Or maybe that message that one person promised me. Whatever it is, it completely makes my day to hear from a friend. Truly, checking my e-mail is a highlight of my day! I love communication!!

  
  

  So does God. Imagine it. Throughout the day, He also keeps checking to see if anyone has sent a message to Him. He looks forward to it as the ultimate highlight of His day, hoping to hear from someone He loves.  Nothing makes Him more excited than to hear from His friends. And so, He keeps checking. But all too often, his inbox remains empty. Nobody has taken the time to sit down and write a long newsy letter just telling Him about their day. Not even a quick note just to touch base. Has anyone come in tears to pour out their burdened heart to Him? No. Not even to ask for some much-needed advice. With great sadness, He realizes that not even the people who promised have pulled through.  Nobody took the time. Nobody made the effort. We're all too busy.

  
  

  Make ya think, huh? It's made me think. So many times I'm just too busy to spend time with God, to send Him the message that I promised Him I would. I'm just too busy. Too busy......checking my e-mail.
