‘Golly’ Coming from Gomer Pyle the word took on special meaning. The mythical town of Mayberry gave us many memorable characters. Both the Andy Griffith and Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C shows entertain us still.
Golly ... ‘Ain't God good?’
He heaps generous portions of blessings upon our plates. Some might foolishly seek junk food in the form of fame or fortune. What a shame.
We see God’s blessings on the horizon in the form of a daily sunrise and sunset. He designed winding trails; perfect for leisurely walks and time alone with Him. I understand the overworked men and women’s decision to head straight home after work. They try to fit in a brisk walk on their treadmills or costly trips to a gym.
Golly; Gomer got it right.
He lived every day with the enthusiasm and trust of a child. I believe he lingered over every sunrise or sunset. He wandered country paths and discovered scenic fishing holes or baby birds feeding in the nest. Gomer was never too busy pumping gas to talk to strangers. He took time to build close relationships with Andy, Barney and youngster Opie.
Golly; God is good. Jesus reached out to outcasts. Reaching them (and us) He has touched and transformed lives.
“Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him (Psalm 33:8 NASB)."
‘Sha-zam’, God is great!
