I recently got together with some long-time girlfriends.
One morning I was doing breakfast dishes, looked out the window, and saw a man walking through my friend’s back yard.
My girlfriend
had said she had a worker who’d be there, but what surprised me was that he was
singing as he went along. Not just singing, but singing incredibly well!
His beautiful
voice came softly, yet beautifully through the windows, and I smiled. Not only
did he have a gorgeous voice, but he was perfectly on key.
This is how life is, I thought to myself. You can be a truly inspired singer, yet never become a star, but a worker in someone’s back yard. Still, you can sing with joy, share your talent, and bless the world.
And then I saw it. On my friend’s windowsill was a home receiver for music, with a picture of Dean Martin on the screen. Everybody Loves Somebody, it said, the very song I was listening to.
It had been turned down just low enough that it sounded as if you were hearing it through the windows. And, of course, exactly on key. I told my friend and she can’t wait to share this news with her workman!
So, I’m just
saying, this one example of my assuming the best about someone should at least
cancel one of the times I’ve assumed the worst. Right? Darn right. And that’s
how you get a few points in Heaven, my friends.
Well, that and watching my Youtube Mom videos.
Find them on my website here. AND some terrific
books you can give as Christmas gifts!
