Snow…..
‘a foot of it’ he posted on Facebook as the city reacts to warnings of sleet on the roads. And the photo, is one that myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope took of his masterpiece last year around this same time. I thought of him this morning as the snow gently fell to the ground, knowing that he would be excited to get out and play.
myDarlin’ had been to the edge and made it back. He didn’t speak of death, but how blessed he was that God gave him a second chance. A chance to make a difference in the lives of others, so that they could see for themselves what a precious gift life really is. And so he danced in the rain, after all it’s only water, right? He built a snowfoot (gotcha! not a snowman!) that lasted for days on end. He wore slippers on a cold day, as well as a warm and sunny day.
And I made my way to the music this evening… it’s calling my name just as it always has. I watch and I listen as friends play familiar songs, and if I close my eyes can see myDarlin’ too. And as I listen to them play the familiar song, I nod my head and look to the heavens…..
Well, we all need someone we can lean on
And if you want it, you can lean on me
And if you want it, you can lean on me
Today I am filled with gratitude as I lean daily on myLord, and I know that if he were to sing a song to us – he would say, ‘you can lean on me.’
