Here for you but what DID I do?


Listen Later

OK kiddos from 3 to 103. I’ll just let you know, right up front, that I’m here for you. Because I know that you fit into one of these categories. You are the:

  • Cream of the crop
  • Top of the heap
  • Bee’s knees
  • Cat’s meow
  • Best thing since sliced bread
  • And maybe you’ve even come up with something else you think describes your effervescent and irresistible personality. If so, good for you. Or is it, good ON you these days? No matter.

    You know what you are. We’ll leave it at that. Just know I’m here for you.

    And I bet just knowing that relaxes you to your very soul. Right? Yeah, because until I popped into your email inbox, you were fretting about something. And you know what they say about fretting, don’t you? Well, I don’t know what they say. But I’m sure it isn’t complimentary or reassuring.

    Anyway…

    Back to why and how I’m here for you.

    I’m here for you because you need a break from the negativity, vulgarity, and instability of the news and the “newsmakers.” And you need a reason to smile, forget about who said what about whom, and just remember that God is gonna make everything beautiful, bright, and completely right again one fine day.

    I had some special words I wanted to share with you about that. But I seem to have misplaced them. I’ve searched under my computer. Down the side of my desk. And even under my cap. But the words appear to have vanished into thin air (because nothing vanishes into thick air).

    Well, there’s my quandary. My dilemma, plight, and predicament.

    So, I scratch my head and ask:

    Did I put the words in a bag

    With a tag that looks like a flag?
    Did I stick the words in a shoe
    Painted blue to make it look new?
    Did I hide the words in a drum
    Which, to some, could make me look dumb?
    Did I let the words out the door
    Where they’ll soar and come back no more?
    Did I leave the words in my head
    To be read by no one instead?
    Nope, I found the words in my eyes,
    So surprise! They’re here for you guys.
