Wind Chimes - Sinos de Vento
03/05/07
Wind chimes… how I love their unchained melodies! And they remind me of my father.
After he and my mother sold their business and family home, they bought a lovely manufactured home and placed it in a small park full of trees and flowers.
Dad always liked to help people. His hands couldn’t be idle, unless he was reading his Bible or a good book. When he wasn’t working outside in the yard to beautify it, or helping others, his hands found another task: creating wind chimes. They looked a lot like this picture, and created mellow and comforting sounds when the wind blew through them!
Because of all my moves, I sadly no longer have any of Dad’s chimes. However, whenever I hear the wind breathing and playing it’s music on wind chimes around me, I think of my beloved dad. A man who loved God, who loved people, who loved his wife and his children. Who loved me, and taught me how to love God.
I’m looking forward to that day when I’ll be with my earthly dad in heaven and I will hear, once again, the wind chimes that Dad makes fill the air with glorious music to worship God.
