At Chapel Hill Church of Christ we had "get togethers" for everything! New Year's, Valentine's Day, Easter, Christmas, Fall Festivals, Theme Park Trips, Special Anniversaries, Saturday Night Volleyball, Gospel Meetings, ... if we didn't have anything to celebrate, we would make something up! We loved to get together. We enjoyed each other!
For several years we spent an evening at "Shell's Christmas Tree Farm" one night in December. They would take us on a hay ride and give us homemade cider! They provided a huge bon fire that we all gathered around and roasted wieners and marsh mellows. It was great! Phillip's daughter was just a few years old. She sat in his lap next to the fire as they roasted a hot dog. She looked up at him and asked, "Is this like it was in The Good Ole Days?" Phillip smiled and tenderly said, "Darlin', these ARE the good ole days!"
There are only three days in our lives here on earth: Yesterday, filled with its memories of what we did and where we've been; Tomorrow, filled with dreams and aspirations of what we want to do and where we want to go; and Today, which determines the other two! Today is CRITICAL! Whatever we do today will become yesterday's memories and set the direction for tomorrow's reality! What are we going to do today?
