Some Days
Some days you'll need the open road and loud nostalgic music.
You'll need phone calls with family and conversations with old friends.
Some days you'll need the rain and you'll need the window down.
Some days you'll need to get out of the car and take a picture in the middle of the road, or pull over to watch the sunset.
Most days you'll need a cup of coffee and an open Bible.
And you'll need to get a refill on both.
Some days you just need to be reminded that today is another day.
And you'll need to do things to remind yourself that you're you and you're alive to live.
But everyday we will need each other and we will need to be reminded that we aren't alone.
Everyday we will need meaningful hugs and hopeful smiles.
We will need to hear we are loved and that it's okay for us to be ourselves.
Some days we will have to ask to be told these things;
other days honest words of love will be freely spoken into our lives.
And those are the days we live for.
Those are the days that keep us alive.
And being alive is a good thing.
