Morning coffee and a balloon ride

It’s a quiet morning with just a breeze. On the horizon, I spot a hot air balloon and it’s occasional drop below the nearby roof tops. The breeze is blowing toward us. Both my wife and granddaughter are outside. I say, it looks like the balloon will float right by us.

I point in the direction my granddaughter should look and she exclaims “I’ve never seen a hot air balloon in Texas!” She’s never seen a hot air balloon period. She’s just three years old.

My Dad took a ride in Louisville Kentucky above the many rolling blue grass fields.  I’ve never flown in a hot air balloon.  Guess I should put that on my bucket list.  In memorandum of Dad

Chris Tomlin sings it well in his song, I will rise.  “And, I will rise on eagles’ wings . . . [On that] day that’s drawing near. When this darkness breaks into light, and the shadows disappear . . . .”  I miss you Mom and Dad. Until we meet again – on that Last Day.

It is well.  Is it well with you?
