Dear Friend,

Posted by Mark | Filed under Life

A friend of mine recently wrote talk­ing about how she was feel­ing stressed out due to her job. She did so in by writ­ing it as a hypo­thet­i­cal let­ter to “Divine Power That Is”. While I’m not a Divine Power; I’d still wanted to try writ­ing some­thing up to help her feel a bit bet­ter. Hope­fully this works and to the friend in ques­tion here; if this post­ing doesn’t help.… Well, you’d best tell my wife so she can extract your revenge for you (or at least help you plan it). :)

For the rest of my read­ers who don’t know what I’m bab­bling about, don’t worry about it. You can just skip the rest of this entry.

Dear Friend,

I truly feel your pain, but there are lim­its to what I can do too. I gave human­ity the gift of free will that every man and woman might find their own way through life. Some of you have used that gift well; oth­ers.… not so much. But really, we’re not cor­re­spond­ing like this to talk about me; we’re here to talk about you. You asked “Why does the buck of every­one else’s cri­sis stop with me.…?”

Friend, through your use of free will; you have devel­oped wit, charm, drive and a lov­ing spirit. The buck stops with you because you want it to. A while back you saw a job open­ing in your work­place that would give you a chance to do good works and help a greater num­ber of your fel­low man. You knew it would not be an easy task, and unfor­tu­nately the task did turn out to be even more dif­fi­cult than you had antic­i­pated. I’m sorry things turned out that but I am grate­ful what you have done so far. I am also quite look­ing for­ward to what you’ll be doing in the future. I would like to promise you your work will go smoothly this year but the flip­side of giv­ing human­ity free will is I can­not directly inter­vene. How­ever I do have this bit of advice for you; the bible says I cre­ated the world in six days and then took a day of rest. The next time you are feel­ing over­worked; remem­ber if I’m allowed a day off, so are you.

Oh and as for that bless­ing you asked for…

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
And the rains fall soft upon your fields until we meet again.

~ Divine Power
