FAMILY: The Color of Our Souls

THE COLOR OF OUR SOULS

My husband asked me how I would describe my soul, and I said, "You."

Thinkings I was just kidding, which I was not, he rephrased the questions.

"What color would be your soul?"

After thinking a moment, I said with all sincerity, "Blue and red."

"Would they be mixed together?"

"Not really.  They would be mostly separated with some swirling together."

"What do they mean?"

"The red stands for blood, for suffering, for pain. 

The blue stands for hope and faith and promise."

After we had contemplated that for a moment or two, I asked my husband,

"And now, Honey, what would the color of your soul be?"

"Plaid."

I can't believe we've been married 32 years.
