Don'T You Know

Dear Neighbor, you know who you are.
You are a sweet neighbor and I know that
we have developed a friendship so rare...
You know a lot about me and I am finding
out a lot about you.
One day while walking over to see you
with my little dog Dizzy, you asked me 
if I wore sunglasses, and I told you rarely.
You said to me that my eyes flashed light blue
as I was looking at you.
Now everyone knows my eyes are a cross 
between brown and hazel... So I heard another
friend tell right before he passed, when his bout
with cancer took him to our Father's realm...
He told me that Jesus' eyes were light blue...
so you see my friend it was Jesus looking at you,
using me His mere vessel.
You said that you don't believe in Christian theology.
That's ok friend because Father God believes in you... 
you believe that Father God is an alien, He can't wait
to have that conversation with you personally,
because I myself fall short of trying to explain it - so
the things I cannot explain I leave it to the One who can.
I believe my friend that you think He might not like you.
I happen to know that not only does He like you neighbor
but He loves you too...
In fact you share something in common..
your love for gardening has caught His eye.
He loves the technique and care you use as you tend your garden.
Your orange tree out in front of your house He does admire.
You see dear neighbor He's a gardener too...
In fact that is where you are most likely to find our Lord on Sundays...
His day off of the throne.  
The Lord told me if your love for gardening is all He knew about you
and seeing the joy it brings to you, that this is more than enough delightful
information for Him.
My neighbor and dear friend, don't you know that gardening is a high
pleasure of kings?  
And I hope that you now know that He has made you a King too?



(Love your neighbor Suzy The Q   LOL!  a little bit of Star Trek humor for you!)
