Desktop Calendar Quotes

And there it sat plain as day staring me in the face. The office was quiet, the hum of the computer was deafening. Only a few weeks behind on my desktop calendar and the thought occurred to catch myself up, October 27th it read "We can be very brave about so many things, yet we are often wimps with those we love". And there it was, there it is and there it ever will be. So in sheer annoyance I kept flipping, tearing the days out one by one with fury in my fingers. How dare the writer of this desktop calendar get a laugh at my expense I sat and thought. So I watched the days that had passed fall to the floor, as my heart silently wept to get them all back. As I turned to look in the garbage I saw Thursday November 13th resting atop the pile "The brother that gets me is going to get one hell of a fabulous woman" - Aretha Franklin
So I reached down, pulled it out and sat with it for awhile. Yogurt stained it was but the truth it held. Things may not always be easy, the road may seem a bit twisted at times and ever so lonely but in the end this one simple desktop calendar quote holds the truth. When the times is right and by the will of God the loneliness will pass and there on the other side of it all, he will stand, ready and waiting, for me, for my heart, and what a poor man this will be. Yet isn't this quote so true... for all of us?
