Dear Reader:

What a wonderful day I had yesterday. My friend, KC Myers, came to see me bearing a pizza… Oh Happy Day! But as much as I love pizza… it was conversing and catching up with KC that made the day.

KC is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet… she left me with one scriptural verse I love… especially two thoughts.

I Corinthians : 16

” No one knows the length of their life, so we need to work on the ” Breadth of it.”

“Help us to see you… in other faces.”

… I told KC I was taking her back to the front desk lobby the ” secret shortcut way from my room.”

We cut across the courtyard …out my personal courtyard back door. With no wind blowing it actually felt nice cutting through … not as chilly as previous days with a strong wind.

The sun was coming down at a slant and an elderly gentleman had found and placed a chair perfectly in a location where the sun’s rays were hitting the side of his face. He looked so tranquil and serene with a half smile on his face.

We both murmured greetings to him and he opened his eyes and smiled… ” Just enjoying God’s gift to me.”

We smiled and went on…but when I returned shortly back along the same path… he opened both eyes saying ” Aren’t I the lucky one? I wanted so badly to sit outside but thought it would be too cold… but with no wind… God let me know He was sending his special celestial creation, the sun, as a gift to me.

Now here was a man who truly understood the ” breadth” of life … to trust in God to shine His Love upon him.

It was only a few minutes later I peeked out the French door windows to see if his face was still so serene … but the chair was empty and now in the shade but the ” breadth” of time… had been spent so wisely!

So until tomorrow…

My favorite ” nook and cranny.”
