The Party Is Never Over

The party’s over.  our family stayed up late amid all that glittered and was golden, tightening the ties that bind.  The party’s over.  We will use all points of the compass to go our own way today.  The miles ever trod will be trodden again.  I have never been a part of any other family, the one dealt was the hand to work with.  But we are good, harnessed well, yoked easy.  We are a party, know how to party, throw the party, and are each the life of the party.  We learn early on what it means to be the center of attention.  For good or bad we love being on stage, encourage it, expect it, demand it.  We dance, sing, write, create, teach, and heal, all to our family’s audience.  We are raucous at the dancing two-year-old, the solving of Goldman Sachs issues, and the newest salvation.  We love a good fall and summit.  We are dog people, horse people, and wild animal lovers, we have love to spare.  But the party’s over.  In the quite early morning, I can already see eyes glistening, ready for coming years, the laughs, the tears, the hero’s past, present, and being made, the walkers with God.  We have the gift of tarrying because with every moment squeezed empty confirms what we all know.  Our party is never over, the Tie that Binds is responsible for our here and our forevermore.  The Party’s On!!!
