There Was Something Red

I had an idea for a blog post.

Had.

What was it? Where did it go? There is a vague memory, a smile in my mind, something red.

Was it about Advent? An Advent reflection? Was it about the kids? Christian's red folder? My new red purse? Red corduroy pants? Mint M&Ms? (Some of them are red.)

Christian's hat? Michaela's piano recital? My empty laundry basket?

No, that's white. (But it is empty, and that is noteworthy.)

While I was looking for one book last night, I found another book, Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Christmas Sermons, but that can't be it, because I haven't read it yet, and anyway, that's "read," not "red." 

I hope that I think of it, because it made me smile. It might have made you smile too. Maybe it will yet.

There was something red.
