Romans 11:36: For of HIM, and through HIM, and to HIM are all things, to whom be glory forever, Amen. When I woke up this morning, an old song was running through my mind, by Mylon LaFevre, its title is “Without Him”. I sat up and loaded the song on my phone and sang along in my morning voice, which I assure you isn’t a Grammy Award sound.
Then I thought of a funny, yet sad story. My family loved all the Gaither Videos, maybe you’ve seen some of them. Mylon LaFevre was featured on some.
My daughters and I thought he was very handsome and a beautiful singer, especially this song. My husband liked him too, although he said that he didn’t particularly think he was all that handsome. My daughter Gina bought a little blue parakeet and named him, Mylon LaFeather.
A few months later she got married and they went on their honeymoon. Upon returning they spent their last night in our town in a hotel. On the way to the car the next morning her new hubby carried the birdcage, and the bottom fell out and Mylon flew away.
Gina called us crying hysterically, asking us if we could bring our boombox over to the hotel and try to entice Mylon to come to us by playing his favorite song. We spent three days over there, at different times of day and night playing the music. It’s a wonder someone didn’t call the police on us.
My husband felt the little fellow had already met his demise, because he was bright blue and some predator probably got him. At that news my daughter and I cried.
