"We are the lucky ones...
Some people never get to do all we got to do."
Carole King, "Now and Forever"
I (somehow) was able to quote this song to Sam at 4:00 this morning, as she left for a trip to the east coast with her friends. You may remember it as the theme song for the movie "A League of Their Own," which is easily on my Top Five list of movies. Sam realizes that she has opportunities that most people never have in their whole lives. She's one of the "lucky ones." Aren't we all? When we think about it our lives are so richly blessed, aren't they? Today, as we embark on a summer weekend, let's remember how gifted and how blessed we are to be right where we are today. We have loved ones, we have resources that others only dream about, and we have community--the Body of Christ. And, if you want a treat, watch this video of this beautiful song:
