A Day to Cherish

Today has been a good day. Cecil and myself made our way to the grocery store on the bus. Cecil walking slowly with his walker, can't move very fast anymore and so we walk together, very slowly...at a snail's pace really. We wandered around the store picking up this next week or two's groceries, Cecil spotting the fresh cherries in the produce department. Cecil loves cherries, and so do I. I thought about that moment, of Cec's eyes lighting up when he saw the cherries and making a grab for a bag, plunking them in the basket. These are the precious moments I cherish, and will always remember. We made our way back home and Cecil had lunch and then a nice big bowl of cherries. He's gone for a nap now, and will probably sleep most of the evening and then through the night. The lovely cherries beckon to me now, "come and get a bowl". I thank God for this day, and all He has graciously provided in it. May the peace of God surround you always.
