Apple Pie Lord
This apple pie is delicious! What a nice treat. What a simple pleasure. Lord, I wish you were sitting here and having a piece with me. I mean no disrespect Lord but I must ask you, have you ever eaten a pie of apple pie? Maybe a slice with some ice cream on top?
I wonder Lord, where do you find pleasure in your existence? It goes without saying you can do all and everything. There is no scenario that is impossible for you. But I wonder, can you enjoy a piece of pie while over seeing the rest of the universe? While considering all of the prayers that come to you constantly, while setting up everyone’s opportunities, while feeding the smallest bird and the biggest whale, while doing the multitude upon multitudes of things you do. Can you enjoy anything while worrying about the lost souls of this world?
The Bible says that we are made in your image God. So God you must love a beautiful sunset, a cool breeze in your face, or a child telling you that they love you. God, we must, like you, have the capacity to enjoy the good things in life while still worrying about and taking care of our children.
God, you feed baby birds while smiting an advancing army. God you showed us how to live and set priorities. You show us how to take care of the small things and stand up for the just things. You showed us how to love and forgive while hating evil and its works. You have showed us that while you are running the universe you can still be with us when we need you.
So I am thinking Lord that while I am enjoying this apple pie that you are enjoying it with me. Just as I enjoy watching my child eating ice cream. Thanks for the pie Lord.
