‘A joyful heart makes for a dazzling countenance’. (Proverbs 15:13)
John calls. ‘I have your Easter egg. Come and get it before there is a tragedy’. My heart skips a beat! ‘What tragedy, John’, I ask. ‘I might eat it myself’, he replies, laughing loudly as only John does. John does pain and laughter in equal measure!Easter Sunday, almost to his place I call John. ‘Did you eat the Easter egg John’. ‘I did. You didn’t jump fast enough’, he replies. ‘No problem John, I hope you enjoyed it’, I say. He did!!
Next morning he calls early; ‘Sorry about your Easter egg. I will get you something far better’. ‘You will not John’, I reply. ‘Our friendship is best gift of all’
Journeying with John is unutterably beautiful, heavenly, and totally undeserved. Pure gift! Ten years steadfast friends.
Again I quote Cardinal Robert Sarah; ‘Words spoil anything that surpasses them’.
‘It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness’. (Eleanor Roosevelt).
