Dear God, We Need to Talk
My Note to God
Dear God, we need to talk. I understand why you’ve allowed me to suffer in the past. Because I learned from those trials and, heck, I’m even grateful for them. But this is the present. Get it? So, no more trials, O.K.?”
Love ya!

God’s Note to Me
Dear You, today’s present is the past you’ll learn from tomorrow. Get it?
You’re welcome.
Love ya better!
God
Yes, I get it.
Laughing and nodding at the same time! Thanks, Mitch (and God).
Our pleasure, Caroll.
All smiles here..!! Wonderful..!! Simple, touching and filled with pure childlike innocent feelings, love and surrender .. all these are God’s favourite..🙏🏼🥰
Thanks, Debby❣
Interesting.😊
Smiles.😊
Tickled pink. Thanks, Mitch.
🧡
Oh!
It is true that once we are out of that and have learned from it, we may experience gratitude for it. Well put Mitch.
Thank you, K.
Sure I get it, but it’s still a trial!🙏
Exactly. Which is why it’s called a trial, Gail.
Hihihi
He does have quite an odd sense of humor. 😆😂🤣
One day, in God’s presence, we’ll look back on this life, T, and laugh uncontrollably, the way parents do when their children do something childish and absurd.
I hope so.
I read this while eating chocolate. Chocolate makes everything so much better. Thank God for chocolate!!
;>) Good to hear from you, sis!
Makes sense. Still, it made me laugh.
Glad to hear that, Michael.
You’re welcome.
One of my most often prayers is “God give me patience!” That was until I read KJV Romans 5: 3-4 “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope.” I am thinking I have sufficient patience! 😊

Message received. Brief, to the point…can’t ask for more than that, Mitch.😊

Got it
Today’s present is the past you’ll learn from tomorrow’ is a perspective shift I needed. Easy to forget in the moment
Indeed it is.
Oooh okay 😁.
My daughter said something similar sometime back, the present we live will also be the past. Quite profound for an 8 year old then.
😁 Great minds become apparent early in life.
Ahh, I hope she never loses her curiosity.
Yes, I am on board with the exact sentiment. Yup, God’s plan, even when I hate it at the moment is always the best. Thanks for making the point with a smile my friend.
My privilege, Pete.
It’s not always easy to accept we’ll have more clarity tomorrow!
Very true, Vanya!
Nicely and cleverly put, Mitch.
Thank you, Mitzy.
Beautiful!!!🎁🌈💙💚🤍
Thank you, Norma.
It’s the uncertainty that I have problems with the future, Mitch. I say just stand in the present for now. Happy new year.
And Happy New Year to you, James.
Very relatable & hilarious 🤣
Happy new year Mitch!
You too, OJ❣
Ha, brilliant – and I’d laugh harder if it really wasn’t so true 😊. Perfect, and wishing you a wonderful 2026 ahead.
You too, Dalo!
Spiritual truth with humor, Mitch, love it!
