It’s 1965. I’m under the covers with my little transistor radio, listening to the Cyrkle singing “Red Rubber Ball.” I’m sure you’ve never heard tell of that group. They never really made it as a rock band, basically only one hit. I was just enjoying a short piece of their existence. Looking back, it amazes me how many insignificant events make up one’s life. The memory is there after sixty years but holds no context. I’m sure glad there are other memories that I can be thankful for because they have given me the life I have today.
Why do I write this? My answer – I want you to plug the memory stick in and review the things you should be thankful for, the things of God that have given you a real life, not the world’s offerings.
Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits,
I’m glad I no longer go to bed with a transistor radio. Give it some thought.
