Trust

Saw this on facebook, and thought it would be a good self-reminder if i posted it here.

Me (in a tizzy) : God, can I ask you something?

GOD: Sure.

Me: Promise you won't get mad?

GOD: I promise.

Me (frustrated): Why did you let so much stuff happen to me today?

GOD: What do you mean?

Me: Well I woke up late,

GOD: Yes

Me: My car took forever to start,

GOD: Okay....

Me (growling): At lunch, they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait

GOD: Hmmmm..

Me: On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call

GOD: All right

Me (loudly): And to top it all off, when I got home, I just wanted to soak my feet in my foot massager and relax, but it wouldn't work. Nothing went right today! Why did you do that?

GOD: Well let me see..... the death angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of the other angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that.

Me (humbled): Oh...

GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that might have hit you if you were on the road

Me (ashamed): ............

GOD: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work

Me (embarrassed): Oh.....

GOD: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give a false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered

Me (softly): I see God

GOD: Oh and that foot massager, it had a short that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.

Me: I'm sorry God.

GOD: Don't be sorry, just learn to trust me.........in all things, the good and the bad

Me: I WILL trust you God

GOD: And don't doubt that my plan for your day is always better than your plan

Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, thank you for everything today.

GOD: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I love looking after my children

Siri - Not So Much 'As Seen on TV'

If you've seen any iPhone 4s commercial you've seen how amazing Siri is. Supposedly.
Aside from having a hard time with hebrew/yiddish names, there are some basic things that don't work as fluidly as shown on TV....

here's a recent conversation, not involving any foreign languages. My brother in law was on his way to a hockey game and texted me to look up an address on my phone. I happened to be driving, so i asked Siri for some help....

Siri: How can i help you?
Me: What's the address for Nassau Coliseum?
Siri: I'm sorry, I can't find Nassau Coliseum.

okay, let's try this in a round about way.....

Siri: How can i help you?
Me: Where do the New York Islanders play?
Siri: Ok

So last night i had a dream, and i thought a man standing in front of me was my grandfather.
He turned around, and while he looked a lot like my grandfather, i realized it wasn't him and figured it was his brother, so in my head (in the dream)
I was like "oh, it's Uncle Y." and Uncle Y. smiled at me.

Over Chanukah a cousin told me that Uncle Y. was sick, and not doing so well. I hadn't heard anything since then (family tends to leave me out of general updates, but especially sad news). I wasn't close with Uncle Y. or anything, and hadn't seen him in a really long time.


Uncle Y. was definitely a random and unexpected person to turn up in my dreams. I know the subconcious is a strange thing, but he wasn't on my mind for any reason, and like i said, i hadn't heard any updates on his condition since Chanukah.

I just found out that Uncle Y. passed away today.

Slightly spooked....
