A PIANO’S WORTH OF LIFE

My cousin’s friend is very sad. Her mother died, and it’s been a shock.

Turns out the dear lady was 88 years old. I immediately thought of the keys of a piano. There are 88 of them. I can’t imagine any notes that are lower or higher than those on a piano. Therefore, having 88 years in the song of your life seems good and full and complete, on a mysteriously beautiful and very grand scale.

You can’t say life doesn’t have its sharps and flats . . . ‘course, mine lately has been so busy, it’s in thirty-secondth notes with no rests.

Prayer request: A friend’s niece, Kelly, sustained brain damage in a snowmobiling accident a couple of weeks ago. The mother of two young children, she is having some short-term memory and speech problems amid other injuries. The doctors are convinced she’s going to be good as new, but it has been a big scare and a trial for the family. Father God, bring Kelly all the way back. Restore her strength and vitality for the sake of those two innocent children, and for Your glory. (Genesis 18:19)
