The Devotional - 049 - Root Beer

A Thought for the Day – 049 – Root Beer

What do you think when someone says; “I don’t understand, could you clear this up with a correct answer?” Truth is an action of loving kindness, like a friendship kiss. God provides an example for us when His Grace touches our faith. Proverbs 25:26 and Ephesians 2:8

I have written about this before, but it is on my mind again so let me see where these thoughts will take us today. 412 Brandise Street, Louisville, Kentucky is where my father’s mom and brothers and sisters lived while I was growing up. Every other day I would travel from our home to my grandmother’s home for a bag of food. My dad was out of work and I believe that we would have starved if it were not for her provisions.

The thought I have is that I do not remember the street on which we lived at the time, maybe because we had moved a number of times and what we called home was transient while my grandmother’s was more stable. Another stable home was 1701F Patten Court, Louisville, KY. This was the home of my cousins, a low income project but this did not matter, it was warm and cozy there too. Like home ought to be.

I can get all cozy and warm inside just thinking of those days when life was full of the turmoil of having nothing but having it all (do you understand?) it does not take much and it costs nothing to remember the days of one’s youth.

This reminds me of having a glass of root beer. If you fill the glass to quickly there is the foam at the top. Either sip the foam from the top and get an instant mustache or you can wait for the foaming bubbles to melt away; in either case the memories are rapid and enjoyable, then disappear softly.

“Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther. But they constrained Him, saying, ““abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.”” And He went in to stay with them. Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they KNEW Him; and He vanished from their sight…” Luke 24:28-35

“America you have failed and you are fallen from the grace of God; “O America, America I long for the foam, the mustache and root beer of days gone by.”
