It's almost 2:00 and I can't sleep while my beautiful wife snoozes away in our warm bed that I warmed up. You all know that is is proper husband behavior to supply a good "warm spot" for your wife to sleep in. (You know the "warm spot" is where all you husbands cuddle up next to your freezing cold wife and get a place a cozy and toasty for her to sleep in.) You all must be thinking to yourself..."Wow, what a great guy to supply a "warm spot" for his weary wife" and I thank you for the vote of confidence. However, I must also confess that here in about 20-30 minutes I will crawl into my bed and gently push my sleeping bride over and occupy the "warmer spot". OK, who are we kidding here...I will shove her over...Anyway, tonight I decided to listen to a little Rich Mullins and I came to the song below. I can't imagine not having a place to lay my head, a place to call home, a place to steal "warm spots"...aren't we glad everyone isn't selfish like me!!
YOU DID NOT HAVE A HOME
Oh, You did not have a home
There were places You visited frequently
You took off Your shoes and scratched Your feet
'Cause you knew that the whole world belongs to the meek
But You did not have a home
No, You did not have a home
And You did not take a wife
There were pretty maids all in a row
Who lined up to touch the hem of Your robe
But You had no place to take them, so
You did not take a wife
No, You did not take a wife
Birds have nests, foxes have dens
But the hope of the whole world rests
On the shoulders of a homeless man
You had the shoulders of a homeless man
No, You did not have a home
Well you had no stones to throw
You came without an ax to grind
You did not tow the party line
No wonder sight came to the blind
You had no stones to throw
You had no stones to throw
And You rode and ass' foal
They spread their coats and cut down palms
For You and Your donkey to walk upon
But the world won't find what it thinks it wants
On the back of an ass' foal
So I guess You had to get sold
'Cause the world can't stand what it can't own
And it can't own You
'Cause You did not have a home
Birds have nests, foxes have dens
But the hope of the whole world rests
On the shoulders of a homeless man
You had the shoulders of a homeless man
And the world can't stand what it can't own
And it can't own You
'Cause You did not have a home

Hey Coopers, welcome to the blog world! Let me warn you, I (and Eudaly) am an ADDICT! So, I will be checking your blog several times a day when I am not on the road. It is a wonderful world, and lots of special, kind, and wise people out there. If you want me to send you some links to some blogs that I am especially impressed with (besides yours) let me know.
I am not over you two leaving.....we still miss you both.
But, I know you are a blessing to the folks that you are hooked up with in LR. COME SEE US! :)
Love you both very much,
Uncle Dave
