Can a color teach you joy like a Sunday school lesson?
Come around, children, and listen to how teal taught the sea to part and your fears to drown!
Listen to how orange tamed the lion in my heart and how red taught me to cry.
Learn from me this morning about the wisdom in the yellow my grandmother’s house used to be and how green couldn’t reach the sky so it instead taught itself how to grow whenever it finds dirt.
And it even can teach you how you ever move on when someone dies;
.
.
You look deep in the purple, blue of the bottomless ocean and see how we are all atoms connected to the sea and you are with me, mother;
And so is
Yellow,
And teal,
And green.
As always, I love the descriptions of colors and also the way I could “hear” mom talk through you! Reading this a second time, I like the purple part! Recently dad and I have been spending so much time with Bob Moore as he helps us build that storage room in the new sanctuary at church. Being one of five siblings, Bob had a good mother, and is quick to tell Dad and I how lucky and blessed we are to have had Carol in our lives. I never want to forget how amazing it is to have had a good mother! Miss you mom!
