WHAT WAS LOST IS FOUND. REJOICE.
..who shall be set him round with dismal stories.....words for our time.
This day around mid-morning I had occasion to move a piece of furniture and there behind it,I found my missing cassette tape of ‘SING LUSTILY a selection of hymns written, words and music by Charles Wesley,the other talented brother and sung by Maddy Prior,the lady with a glorious voice,and The Carnival Band. I felt a surge of Joy,and we don't get much of that these days,I felt like the woman in Jesus story who found her missing coin. “ I have found my lost ….tape cassette”. Luke ch.15 v.9. BUT the real reason why I am posting this (to you) trivial incident is that when I put it on to play the words of one of the hymns (not I think by Charles Wesley but John Bunyan?) seemed SO APPROPRIATE for all of us now….who so beset him round with dismal stories….every time you dare put the radio on…..there's no discouragement can make him once relent….he’ll with a lion fight…then fancies flee away…. I'll fear not what men say…we know we at the end shall life inherit. WORDS FOR NOW.
Those simple joys of finding the misplaced items are addictive, whether glasses, keys, letter or a cable for the 'puter. Worrisome when lost, and then minor scale rapture, the thought of "losing" things just to bring on another small joy is tempting.......
better not let the subconcious or unconsious get wind of that proclivity........
