In the early 1950’s an elderly sheep herder wrote a letter to a large New York City radio station. He lived alone with only his dog and sheep for companions.
He wrote that he got his greatest pleasure from his radio and his violin. He further wrote, “But recently my violin has become badly out of tune. Would it be possible for someone there to strike the note A on the piano so I could hear it on my radio here and tune my violin by it?”
The disc jockey read the letter to his audience and then announced that the program would be delayed for a few minutes while he struck the note A several times so the man could tune his violin.
There have been many times in my life that I have lost the “note” and have been out of tune. How blessed to have a loving God who hears and sends the right note at the right time to get us back in tune and with a new melody.
