"All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all..."
Just another day in the life of a man that has done his best to live his life in truth, by faith...in love. A man that has understood that the value of love is best expressed in time given. As time is the only thing man cannot replace and he is blessed to have shared his with so many but most of all...those he has loved the most. Something his father has left him as a priceless legacy. You see he may have never had the best things money could buy but he knew he always had his father. He was always close. Always ready to impart wisdom or just "be there" in any way he could. While this age places value in success expressed in money, it has created beings without care, love, honor or integrity. Time requires these things...doled out money does not. So he has chosen to live out his fathers legacy and this has made him...a true king.
And so this day, February 10th, came and went without fanfare, pomp and circumstance for this king. It was a sweet day on his forty fifth birthday. Though sadly incomplete by one, yet made special by two. Quiet, easy and tender. With a knowledge of what is about to unfold kept safe in his heart. A fifteen year wait in faith is now a time of manifest expectation. Only because God has made his heart ready through his father's legacy. As such, his kingdom is at the precipice of abundance. All now replete and ready for change...without changing who he has become. It's a strange feeling...but a welcome one.
Yeah...I'm more than ready. I thank my Lord...
~Moses Apollo Apolinaris
PS: Don't you ever forget one thing: Every day, every second is a God given opportunity to become better...to change into the best "you" that you can be. Does you no good to have full pockets if your soul is empty...much love.
