Every Day

“Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” Acts 2:46, 47

I am about to go home and sit down to a marvelous Thanksgiving feast prepared by my wife and daughter. The last few years it has been just “we three” for the November holiday. We have two grown sons; one lives with his wife in Minneapolis along with our 4 year old granddaughter, and the other is in Guatemala finishing his last year with the Peace Corps. Normally we would invite a handful of people who have nowhere else to go, but my headaches are only exacerbated by adding more people to the mix.

All Radiant

“Now you’ve got my feet on the life path, all radiant from the shining of your face, ever since you took my hand. I’m on the right way.” Psalm 16:11 (The Message)

There are certain people we just can’t wait to hang around with. You come away invigorated by their own enthusiasm for life. Perhaps there is someone you count on to cheer you up when life is darker than a triple espresso. Or, when we are newly in love, we cannot think of what it would be like to be apart for more than a moment. Hours spent together fly by unnoticed.
