I think these lyrics are in a country song of “Yesteryear”. I liked the words because it reminded me of home back in Coldwater Michigan. My Father had a hay business and bought and sold hay from and sold hay to farmers (most dairy farmers).
One of the men he bought hay from was a “Casey Stengel” looking guy named Pug Johnson, who lived in the neighboring town of Kinderhook and was an early riser and would pull into our driveway at breakfast time. My Dad would holler, “come on in Pug”, pull up a chair and have some breakfast with us.
Pug would do just that! I was always glad when Pug came because it was so fun to watch his mannerism and listen to him talk.
Well, last evening at dusk Scott and Levi knocked at our door, sending our little dog Moxie into her usual barking frenzie. Barbara and I were surprised but glad to see them because it reminded us of years gone by now when that was a very usual experience for us…first when we were first married after our Jr year in college and we had fellow students over to our apt almost weekly it seemed, for soup and Barbara’s nifty sweet but healthy bread rolls. Then when we taught at Lynwood Academy and had students over often… then when we were pastoring at Burbank before we built a fellowship hall and our house and back yard was where we had weekly lunches…like Kristen and Nevill do.
So when Scott and Levi stopped by to return a CD I had lent to our Pastor, I could barely refrain from saying..come in boys,pull up a chair and stay a little longer.
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,…To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen Jude 1:23-25
