Just another Thursday

I walked through the woods with God for our Thursday afternoon stroll.

I said that I sometimes got frustrated with life.

God said, “That’s because you give up too easily.”

I asked if I should just try harder.

Suddenly a bear appeared from behind a tree. I ran like crazy. The bear ran after me. I ran for a while and the bear wouldn’t let up. I tripped over a log and fell onto the forest floor. I looked up and saw the bear bearing down on me. I covered my head and screamed.

I heard laughter. I dropped my arms and saw God laughing and standing over me like a bear.

I asked if God was teaching me a lesson about giving my all.

God said, “No, I just thought it would be hilarious.”
