I Will Reflect Love

Send us Fan MailThere are two precious books in my personal library. One I received from the Ramker family when I retired, and one I received from my friend, Beth Wilson, for Christmas. The titles are, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse, and Always Remember: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, the Horse, and the Storm, both by Charlie Mackesy. They are about four animal friends and filled with whimsical nuggets of encouragement and wisdom. Several of those nuggets found in these books are fitting to introduce today's podcast. Here they are: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" "Kind," said the Boy. "What is a true sign of strength?" "Gentleness," said the Horse. "The wind is strong." "Our love is stronger," said the Horse. "Where did your strength come?" asked the Mole. "From remembering I am loved," said the Boy. "I thought I'd lost you," said the Horse. "It was love that brought me home."  "Hope is the quiet song in your heart that can sing in spite of everything." "I've realized why we are here," whispered the Boy. "For cake?" asked the Mole. "To love," said the Boy. "And be loved," said the Horse.Thanks for listening.
