From time to time I ponder what this world would look like if I were God. I have even toyed with some thoughts on Facebook, but still, I ponder. Of course, if I were God there would be no evil, no war, no abuse, no poverty, boundless love, and on and on with all the good stuff. That is something I believe that we would all like to see on this fragile planet. But, what I think about are the little things. Those nitty, gritty, nasty little things that get in the way of a perfect moment or a perfect day. Like, why does my dog always have to poop all over himself every time I take him someplace special (that is, not to the vet or the groomer)? So, here are a few things I would change if….I…were….God:
- No one would ever have a bad hair day.
- It would never rain on a picnic or a parade.
- Telemarketers would never call at dinner time.
- Mice would stay outside.
- Everyone’s breath would always be clean and fresh.
- Spaghetti would never dribble down on a white shirt, blouse, or dress.
- All teen-ager’s rooms would be neat and clean.
- A pencil and paper would always be handy when you needed it.
- No one would ever misplace their keys or their eye-glasses.
- Weeds would only grow where they were wanted.
Well, I could go on and on and on, but I think I’ll save some for another blog. For now I will just go on believing in miracles, loving life, laughing much, living well, and trusting that my friend, Jesus, will keep me and my family healthy, happy, and able to give what we can to make this a better world.
