Last evening Allie was here for supper. She asked g-pa to sing the "sunshine" song:
you are my sunshine, my only sunshine
you'll
.... my mind went blank! Allie sadly looked up to me with her big brown eyes, "You don't know the words!"
You see several weeks ago Julie and I were taking Allie home. During the 20 minute drive we sang You are my sunshine over and over again, we had fun together, there was synergy as we sang together. Yesterday her disappointment in me was palatable! (Julie saved the day by helping me when she got home from work.)
Well, this got me wondering ... Sunday after Sunday we sing the songs, we hear the Word, we express our loyalty to the way of Jesus ... What happens Monday-Saturday? When we fall short ... does Jesus come alongside and say "you don't know the words."
Just as Julie "saved the day" with the words of the song, the same way God is ready and willing to save the day. God is good: he does not say "you do not know the words,: but instead He probably says "let me help you out this time." And I am so glad that he does!
