My
congregation is full of elderly widows and widowers, as well as women whose
husbands walked out long before divorce was acceptable, and some who never
married. Today I passed a happy hour with one congregation member who has
unexpectedly and delightfully found love again at a late stage of life. The
other night she was sat at home in front of the tv watching the latest David
Attenborough natural history, and her gentleman friend was sat in his home in
front of his tv watching the same programme. In this programme we saw a pair of
Amazonian poison-dart tree-frogs. Discussing what they had seen over the phone,
he coyly asked her if the frogs reminded her of anyone, another couple?
You
know someone is in love when they take being compared to a poison-dart
tree-frog as a compliment.
