Good Morning

The radio’s news pounds out yet another song of doom and gloom this morning. Same old lyrics. Someone lied to a liar, someone cheated a cheater, someone stole from a thief, and everyone hates. But outside my window, the sun is in the sky. It warms my face. I take another sip of fresh brewed coffee. I watch the children play free and unashamed in the yard next door. My wife walks up behind me and hugs my neck. I thank God for allowing me another day. I reach over, unplug the radio and I throw it in the trash. No place left to hide in this electronic world— Let’s find the off switch

We have to turn off the noise. Though the world in surround sound, sounds bad, we can be comforted when it is not at our doorstep and we have so much to be thankful for. Blessings, Jerry!
