Tonight, I
had the joy of listening to two of my favorite sounds. Both distinct sounds I can recognize in an
instant.
The sound of bacon sizzling on the stovetop, bubbling and
popping as it shrinks to half of its original size.
The sound of pouring rain tapping on
the roof, the drops bouncing and chasing each other down the blanket of shingles.
These two sounds slowly faded away,
each ushering two new things I love. One
involves taste and smell, the other sight and smell.
Eating the freshly fried slices of
bacon, the smell adding to the anticipation of the meat entering my mouth.
The clouds clearing after the rain
and the sun smiling down, reflecting off the wet pavement, as the air is permeated
by the delightful smell of soaked dirt.
It’s been a pleasant evening
enjoying just a couple of the things God has made to make this life so
incredibly amazing.
