Talking to God

[Pravin Kumar]

[Little Jimmy was laying about on a hillock in the middle of a meadow on a warm
spring day.  Puffy white clouds rolled by and he pondered their shape.  Soon, he
began to think about God.
"God?  Are you really there?"  Jimmy said out loud.
To his astonishment a voice came from the clouds.  "Yes, Jimmy?
What can I do for you?"
Seizing the opportunity, Jimmy asked, "God?  What is a million years like to
you?"
Knowing that Jimmy could not understand the concept of infinity, God responded
in a manner to which Jimmy could relate.  "A
million years to me, Jimmy, is like a minute."
"Oh," said Jimmy.  "Well, then, what's a million dollars like to you?"
"A million dollars to me, Jimmy, is like a penny."
"Wow!" remarked Jimmy, getting an idea.  "You're so generous... can I have one
of your pennies?"
God replied, "Sure thing, Jimmy!  Just a minute."

While I acknowledge it is just a joke.....perhaps there is a lesson....Would God really test us?  Is this just our human mind reaching for more?  And from whom?

[Pravin Kumar]

Dear Spiritalk,

This is a joke but conveys a message too at the same time.

Agreed Pravin...

The true searcher isn't consimed with the things of the flesh and the mundane things that surround us daily. Rather a true seeker will look for the esoteric values and teachings available to them wherever they are. Perhaps the lad should have seen the message that was written in the clouds instead of asking for $1,000,000.

That's a good one!!  God does test each and every one of us.  I feel I am being tested by him now.  My family and I have been going thru a lot these past few months.
