My God Moment of the Day

The day my dad died, I sat for hours by him on the bed, holding his hand and quietly singing the song, "There will be a Day." That song has always had a special place in my heart.

When we opened the ice cream shop, Andi and Big Guy gave me a plaque, with a picture of me and my dad that read,

Bits & Pieces
established in memory of my dad
Carroll Edmondson
who loved ice cream until the day he died.

and he did. More than anyone I ever met. Every day I worked, I saw that plaque hanging by the cash register and it made me smile and think of him.

Today, I closed the shop for business for the last time. I went to my car, turned on the motor and about 3 seconds later, a song came on ~~ "There Will be a Day."

God is always there. Planning things like that to make you aware that He is indeed always with us. Caring about our feelings and sending reminders that we are never alone.
