The Empty Chair 4/4/2016

Good Morning.

Time for a change. Door County Blueberry Cobbler Coffee is brewing as I write. It is time to embrace  spring and it all starts with the lighter flavor. If it snows again today I will be drinking Door County Jingle Bell Java tomorrow.

Lately I have been looking at an old rocking chair that has graced our living room for thirty years. Except for when we have people into our home the chair sits empty most every night.   But when I close my eyes I can see some of the people who have sat in that chair and rocked. Some are gone now on to heaven. Some still come by for a visit or a special occasion.


We have been talking about replacing the chair. Both of us decided against it. Too many memories wrapped up in that chair. We talked about those folks who sat in the rocker. What we concluded is this. Those who sat there blessed us by being there. We say this. Dear Lord, thanks for the memories.

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect thing is from above and comes down from the Father of lights.

If you are in the neighborhood the chair is open and we will leave the light on.

God bless,

Marty
