Do you realize that everything that
happens to you is because of God’s will?
Every time your wife yells at you and
slams the door, it is God’s will. And that
time at work when you forgot to re-order
the Mop & Glo, it was God that wanted
you to forget. Maybe he just wanted to
give you a day off from shining floors. But
when the maintenance supervisor reamed
you out for not re-ordering, was that God’s
will too? I think God’s will extends to
inanimate things too. Like, I think it was
God’s will that a particular leaf fell from a
particular tree at a particular moment. And
that big stain that won’t come out of your
carpet? I guess God just doesn’t want it to
come out, although you have to concede
that you didn’t really scrub very hard.
Why do you keep that raggedy old carpet
around anyway? I think your floor
coverings need to be “reborn” if you know
what I mean.
