Today's message:
"The Man behind the moon"
by Bob Perks
Something warm touched my soul as I stood in the cold,
early morning hours.
The sun breaking the horizon's grip, poured over the tops
of distant trees as
a single beam of light glanced off my left shoulder.
My white t-shirt seemed to glow suddenly and with it my
heart sighed, "thank God."
It was a time when darkness filled my days and evening
hours were wasted on
"what if's" and "if only."
I hated the night. In doing so, my sleep
deficit turned my days into a zombie-like
existence. Eventually life seemed like a waste
of time.
So what got me through it all?
Through the years I've spoken with, smiled at, and sung
about my forever confidante
making it the focus of many a lonely night.
I've walked the shores of distant lands with its familiar
face looking after me. I cried
and laughed a hundred times over love lost and
gained. I searched along the
mountain side eagerly looking for a better, clearer view
of its coming and going.
Seeing it unexpectedly fuller, brighter and in more
detail, I'd always rush to a phone to
share it with someone, anyone who appreciated the
afterglow of day.
Growing up thinking it really was made of cheese, I
decided after seeing it through a
telescope, it had to be "Swiss."
In love songs they call it by name, "Moon River," Fly me to the Moon," "Shine on Harvest
Moon," "It's only a Paper Moon," "Blue Moon," "Moonlight
Sonata" and more.
But what has always stuck with me is when they speak
about, "The man in the Moon."
I just could never see it.
Although the Moon and I go way back and even until this
very day, I cannot go out at night
without looking for my friend. I will not even begin
to try to convince you that the moon got
me through it all.
No, like everything else in my life, it was the "Man
behind the moon." The Creator of all things.
When I stood on the shore, His waves danced at my feet
washing away my cares.
When I cried because young love was ripping my heart
out He lifted my spirits by reminding me
love will forever be a part of my life.
When I swooned at the very thought of someone loving me in
return, He gently said, "I told you so."
And even when I cursed the night
and wished the moon away
He always seemed to make things right
by giving me the day.
The sun will shine, the birds will sing
and I promise very soon
You'll see the joy that He will bring
"The Man behind the moon"
"I believe in you!"
Bob

"I Wish You enough!"
© 2001 Bob Perks I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish you enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye." |
