Are you thankful Thursday is finally here? If you’re like most people, your answer would be something like, “Yeah. No.” Because Thursday doesn’t stand out for most people. He’s one of the T twins, Tuesday and Thursday, who sort of get lost in the mix.
I suppose it could be worse for Thursday. At least he isn’t hated like Monday. But he also doesn’t typically get his own nickname. Like, for example, Hump Day, aka: Wednesday. Oh yeah. The middle of the week has certainly made a name for himself.
But, come to think of it, Thankful Thursday sounds pretty good.
And that makes me think of a thankful Thursday morning I had ten years ago. I woke up that morning, had a cuppa java, and sat down at my computer to post my daily writing. But I couldn’t remember what it was I wanted to say. What a dilemma. I was in a quandary. And I didn’t like that vexed feeling. No, I didn’t like it even one, little bit.
So, what did I do? What COULD I do? Well, my last name starts with Fun. So, I knew what must be done.
I started to write about the mystery of the lost words. And here’s what I said:
Now, where did I put those words. Hmm, that is most peculiar. I just had them a minute ago. In fact, just before I sat down to type out this message I put them all in…uh…in what? Where did I put…
The Words
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. © 2014
OK, I hope this is a truly Thankful Thursday for you. And I pray you are never more than a thought away from thinking about your awesome Creator.
