May the 4th be with you! Today, Star Wars fans everywhere (yours truly included), use this greeting throughout the day to celebrate this epic saga of good versus evil. Just one of those things we do. For me, though, this pun sparks an immediate reminder of a different kind of force – the grace, mercy, and love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. That Force. The omnipresence that surrounds us and penetrates our hearts, and allows believers everywhere to strive, to forgive, to hope. Uh-huh. Absolutely, for that Force, I am forever thankful.
So, Star Wars fans, May the 4th be with you! And with us all, always may the Force be! ✝️ ?
What are you thankful for today?
“And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
-Matthew 28:20
“Close your eyes. Feel it. The light…it’s always been there. It will guide you.”
–Maz Kanata, Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens
Oh, speaking of wordplay phrases, here’s one of my favorites:
“Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.” – hehehe…
-A.G. Oettinger
Love this!
Check your spelling…5th line down….2nd word in…. 😉 Not being a Star Wars fan, I am thankful for the Holy Spirit Force…today and every day. Boop
