The Traditions Parable
This reminds me of my FaithWriter days when we had weekly challenges with a theme. It really stretched me as there were genres and themes I would otherwise never would have tried.
This vision came to me this week, and I thought it was a thought-provoking parable.
Something different to post. I pray that you are reflecting and thankful this Resurrection weekend.

The Traditions Parable
A man had a birthday and always went to his favorite restaurant to celebrate with his loved ones. This went on year after year. One birthday, they arrived, ready to celebrate just as they had, but the restaurant had closed.
His loved ones were livid, pounding on the restaurant doors. “How could you do this? How can we possibly celebrate our friend’s birthday?”
Others shouted much of the same.
The man with the birthday looked past the restaurant and saw so much life and other choices. With a smile, he gestured them to follow him as he looked for a different way to celebrate that didn’t change the point of his day.
Some joined him. Some sat on the steps of the closed restaurant, unable to believe they could celebrate their loved one without the restaurant.
