Gently stir together moments of life well lived~ the first touch of summer beneath the rose arbor, a speck of trouble you sought to forgive, and a jar full of water from His safe harbor. Leave out the spoonful of sorrows, replace it with twelve dozen smiles and twelve dozen rosy tomorrows, then mix in a secret from Grandfather’s files. Allow it to age for a decade of years until all the flavors are blended quite nice, serve it without one trace of tears for a treat of delight beyond any price.
