Because Those Saints …. Came Walkin In

OK… Has anyone checked the raydon count on the carburetor manifold output generator valve assembly? It seems to be leaking flux gasses again because it’s making my eyes water. (At least that’s my story, and I’m stickin’ to it!)

This one was tough to find pictures for. Those darn raydons.

But not only ’cause of the leakin’ eyes. After the Spirit put it on me to highlight a few folks in my own journey, I didn’t want to do it in groups. Man, that was difficult. Tons of pics of each of these folks with others. Smiling, laughing, teaching, helping, loving, caring… You think it, put an “-ing” on it, and they’d probably done it between the seven of them. Different skills, different backgrounds, different strengths, different weaknesses. But one thing they had in common: they loved me. They showed up for me every day of their lives and never let me forget it.

And I won’t. Each and every day I try to honor that gift by passing it along, knowing we’ll all be together one day thanks to Another who has loved us all since the beginning.

He was only on the earth for a little over three decades and showed us how to live. During that time He even had a chance to share a very memorable All Saints Day with some of His friends from both Heaven and earth. (Peter was quite shaken!)

Just a thought from a guy taking a moment to think about the folks God put right in front of me — Mom, Dad, Brother, Grandparents — and how lucky I was to have them and so, so very many more saints in this grateful life.
