What Makes a Day Special?



The morning began on a somber note, but with each passing minute the day blossomed with new life. Love was all encompassing leaving only feelings of lightness, solitude and grace as I settle into the night. As I reflect...

...the grey skies accompanied me on my pilgrimage to the hospital, the cool rain gently kissed my cheeks.  What greeted me then was a peaceful life and the presence of kinship.  Time passed and suddenly normalcy set in and laughter abound.  Hearts were lighter leaving than when they arrived; morning ended and afternoon came.

When schedules are shifted and spontaneity prevails one must savor the moment and look for the signs.  The signs that offer a new perspective, a glance at what would not have been, a moment in time that became nostalgic. Treasure the day, the hour, the moment.

As the clouds broke open and light poured down onto the day, life flourished and thrived.  The vibrant garnet cardinal gingerly watched on as the wildlife sifted through seeds and replenished themselves with the days precious gift from above.  

One week past the resurrection offered hope and anticipation of new beginnings and second comings.  The vigilant preparation for a gathering of youthful scholars concluded as afternoon ended and evening followed.    

Angels sang and left many with lighter hearts than when they arrived.  In a cynical world the union of faith and love created an evening of invincible prowess.  Evening ended and nighttime followed. 

What made this day special?
What made this day different?
When the choir sang J - E - S - U - S is the W - A - Y!
