Mornin' Glory - GBBD

I have two stories to tell this day. Whenever I hear the term Morning Glory it reminds of two gentlemen that influenced my life. One gentleman used to come into a business I worked at and always said "Morning Glory!", with much inspiration and positivity. He always made me smile and always lifted people up in a spiritual way.
The second gentlemen I met just recently. John loved to talk to people and had the gift of hospitality. Him and his wonderful wife ran a bed and breakfast in town. He also liked to paint signs which he would install  in his outside gardens. You know the country signs with slogans and verses. He liked to quote scripture most of all. But the one sign I always remember is "Mornin Glory" that he installed on the back fence. He would see the sign every morning when he looked out the kitchen window or back door. John passed away a little over a year ago after struggling with cancer. I miss him and his gracious smile and grandiose humor.  Mornin Glory!
