Greetings Dear Reader,
There is a
taste. It is not one particular taste. Rather,
it is the familiarity of tastes across foods that trigger some very beautiful
memories. It is sometimes planned and sometimes
serendipitous. These tastes are seated in
the very best part of my heart and mind.
This morning it was
serendipitous. I prepared my coffee a
bit differently and the taste catapulted me back in time to my Grandfather’s
table in his house on Pecan Drive. The
coffee tasted just like the coffee at my Grandfather’s. Memories of biscuits, herbed sausage gravy, and
pickled peaches rushed into my mind.
Recalling pan-fried chicken, perfect collard greens, and priceless pear
preserves brought real satisfaction to my heart. Filled with love and memories of a man and woman
who always loved me and never hurt me, I sipped and pondered how I would close
this series.
It came to me that we hall have some memories
of times when others showed us the love we needed. This is our chance, Dear Reader. There are people in our lives who need to see
our love. There must be a more diligent
effort because of the current distress if we are going to show love to others.
We will create memories
during this time. It is our choice to determine
what kind to create. If we choose to actively
find ways to show love to others, we can create memories for them. We can show our love for the Father in irrevocable,
irresistible, and undeniable ways. We
can wear the cloak that is to surround all that we are, love. We are able to look beyond this current distress
to the moments we can create for others.
Choose love over
everything. I must do so. Choose to show love in new ways. Set aside everything that hinders love. Be kinder, gentler. Find ways to show love to others whilst they
are working through this time. I know I
plan to do so.
If you need to be
reminded that you are loved, I am here for you, Dear Reader. I will not always agree with you. I may offend you from time-to-time. I will fail.
However, on the other side is the truth that love will not fail us if we
cling to it. It is here for us even in
the time of COVID. We can build memories
of loving each other that will taste sweet to us for years to come.
Wishing you joy in
the journey,
