Of What Lasting Value

Of what lasting value is a good day:

*If it’s not also a Godly day? 

*if you can’t feel the rays of sunshine beyond a cloudy sky?

*If you can’t embrace the presence of exhilaration holding a newborn for the first time? 

*if you couldn’t taste the love that went into making a freshly baked apple pie?

*if you can’t see how Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers revolutionized the elegance, grace, and originality of romantic dance?

*If taking a long walk on a country road in Autumn leaves you without your senses feeling the Winter solace up ahead?

*If you try to find comfort in a bottle of whisky, when it comes from encouragement, whether by words or the presence of another to help in time of need. 

*Is eating a bowl of Raisin Bran without the raisins?

*If snowflakes in December don’t remind us that everyone that makes its way to earth paints an intelligible picture of our Savior’s birth?

*If a warm summer’s night without the soothing binaural night sounds of crickets and the glow, shimmy, and sway of fireflies dancing to the nightfall?

*If a sensory performance of the magical Christmas ballet Nutcracker doesn’t leave you with visions of Sugar Plum Fairies dancing in your head all night?

*
*Is being alive if Godliness should become prohibited from living in you? 

*Is it when a man turns 80 and thinks he can no longer take to the air on eagles’ wings, run and not grow weary, and walk and not become faint?

*Is betting on a horse race when you have no idea who’s the one that refuses to lose? 

Blessings to everything the day has to offer, dear friends,
