MY BROWN EYED GIRL

In just a few days, we will celebrate Jadyn’s 23rd birthday. God graciously brought a sweet memory to my mind recently. It was the last summer we were together on this earth with her senior pictures coming up.   She had been holed up in her room that summer not feeling well, and maybe just being a typical teenager.  I thought she needed some sunshine and fresh air so I pushed her to go to the pool with me.  She was not thrilled because she was simply not a sun lover like me, but she was a good sport and came with me anyway. She soon grew bored “laying in the sun”.   There happened to be a DJ playing some fun music around the pool, and pretty soon my song for her came on, “Brown Eyed Girl”.  We both jumped in the turquoise water and danced and laughed together. 

It was probably my favorite memory during a long, difficult summer.  God has brought the memory of her smiling and laughing that day to mind several times this summer.  It reminds me of what the future might look like when we meet again in Heaven💜

Psalm 30:11: “You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning …”

MY BROWN EYED GIRL LYRICS….

“Laughin’ and a-runnin’, hey, hey

Skippin’ and a-jumpin’

With you, my brown-eyed girl”
