Thought for Today

come out as you first hoped.”

PRODIGAL SON
There are moments and
there are moments ….
There are memories and
there are memories ….
Some moments become
memories we can’t forget ….
The son messed up.
All he remembered was the embrace.
The father waited.
All he remembered was the “Thank you.”
The older brother missed the celebration.
All he remembered was the refusal.

MUSIC
I don’t know about you,
but most of the time,
I don’t get music, notes,
tones or tunes. I know there
are different instruments –
and I know the sounds they make.
For example, pianos, drums,
trombones, and saxophones,
but I don’t know how to play them.
Sometimes music takes
on the savage beast in me.
Sometimes I tap my fingers
and tap my toes. Sometimes
I connect drums to the drum
beat in my heart – so I hope
that means there is hope for me.
Toot. Toot. How about you?

IMPACT
IMPACT
Well, we would like to have some impact –
at least that they knew we were in the room.
We can do a few things – like pick up the empty
coffee cups – and put the milk or cream away.
We can listen – make a comment – ask a
question – and thank those who invited us.
We don’t want to be pompous or pretentious –
but simply someone who adds to the situation.
But at some point in our lives we want to move
away from being self-centered and self-conscious.
We simply want to help others sense their impact
on our common situations and their value and beauty.
