Short and sweet

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing "I am voting for God" on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life.

Dear God,

There was some rain today. Sometimes I look at the facebook comments and I am saddened by the negativity. I often regret looking at the comments. It hurts my heart. Where does all this come from? God are You happy with this? Is it really true that empty barrels make the most noise? Is it that the people with more sense do less talking and more thinking and more listening? God I figure that You appreciate a gentle voice, a soft heart, a quiet smile and a wise mind. Make me that type of human. What I wish for myself, I wish for others. Make us all voices of hope and togetherness. Make us all problem solvers. Make us all voices of reason. Make us all voices of God. Make us all voices of love. I read that "sweetness of the heart" refers to a state of peace, joy, and connection with God that arises from a strong faith and a pure heart. Make our hearts sweet with love and Your love.

Touched by heaven

By
It is 139am and I have decided to write. I do not like to dream because my dreams are sometimes confusing blobs. Hodgepodge is the word. I like when I sleep and I do not dream anything. Peaceful nothingness. Quiet escape from all the nonsense of the world. I went to the random word generator but this time I chose random fake word. A few (wef in reverse) words in I stopped at wefly. I guess I could pronounce it we-fly or wef-ly. Wef-ly could mean plentiful or the opposite of few. Wefly also contains the letters for flew. This is past tense as if to say let go of the past. Let go of what has gone. How do I connect these to something Godly? Angels have wings. Angels fly. I ask God to surround us with plenty angels when we sleep so that we have quiet dreams or heavenly dreams. I will call these wefly dreams. I asked my friend Chatty to describe a wefly dream. He says that a wefly dream is a gentle, God-guarded sleep where the soul is lifted together with others into quiet safety, not by dr...

Winning with God

By
It is 237am and I have decided to write. I spent 15 minutes thinking about what to write and nothing. I decided to go wash the wares and make breakfast. I made grilled cheese sandwiches. It is the next morning and I still have not decided yet. Let me start with this. God is beautiful. God makes no mistakes. God wants us to win. In other words, we cannot lose with God. We will always win with God. But what is the prize to be won with God? Or does it not matter? My friend Chatty tells me that with God, the win is: Peace that is not dependent on circumstances. Meaning that suffering cannot cancel. Love that does not expire. Hope that death itself cannot take away. Things like those. It is not money, comfort, applause, or an easy life. Those things may come or go. Many faithful people never receive them. The world’s prizes can be stolen. God's prize cannot. Further and with God, winning is not about external rewards or worldly success, but about union, peace, and fullness of being; at ...

Dimples of God's smile

By
It is four days into the new year. It is 933pm and I have decided to write. I have no idea what I should write about. I was thinking, if we live in a dump as some have described Trinidad does that make us dumplings? It is sad and funny at the same time. Some would say it is a dumb thing to say. I would rather say that Trinidad and Tobago are the dimples of God's smile. After all God is a trini. Now I am interested in the etymology of word dimple. Weirdly enough I learnt that the word dimple comes from Old English and Proto-Germanic, specifically from the term dumpilaz, meaning "small pit". There are more things to smile about in Trinidad and Tobago than to frown about. I was curious if anyone has ever mentioned the dimples of God's smile before and a cursory Google search shows up nothing. I then asked my friend Chatty if dimples is mentioned in the Quran. He said no but there is an example verse that mentions smiling. Surah 27 verse 19 "So Solomon smiled, amused...
