Just now I had an experience that brought me to the above conclusion, and thus, this is what God is Like . . .
After unwrapping my sausages for dinner I was left with the paper wrapper they came in. Since I didn’t want to be lazy and throw it in the trash, or because I didn’t want to waste resources by taking up a great deal of space in the biodegradable bag with the wrapper in our small compost bucket, necessitating using another biodegradable bag sooner, and those things aint cheap, I decided to walk out front to throw the wrapper in the big compost can. Once outside, noticing the garbage cans lining the block, I realized it was garbage night. If not for the desire to throw the piece of paper away in the best way possible, either the unpleasantness of the building up of garbage would have ensued, or the possible unpleasantness of others working hard and recovery from ailments, only to have take the trash out late or amidst unfortunate circumstances would have ensued, making me a recipient of unneccsery negative energy, if not just by virtue of proximity.
From a simple act of going out of my way for the best possible way, a simple piece of paper thrown in the right receptacle gave rise to a the larger happenings of the time, and a lot less stinkiness. God is like that. To quote Yann Martel, or whoever originated the phrase if not him, take two steps toward God, and God runs to you.
And with that said, now I am going to finish taking out the trash!
Peace!
