247365

Jean Lundahl Jayne

That's right. "247365" was the last thing a friend said as we talked on the telephone. "247365" and then she hung up.

I sat there perplexed for a moment. What had I said to get this response? Then I recalled saying, "Remember, God is with you."

In these days of numbers, we have postal codes, area codes, country codes, street addresses, post office boxes, cell phones, faxes, locker combinations . . . but 247365?

"Remember, God is with you."

"24-7-365."

Then I got it. She meant hours per day, days per week and per year. In other words—ALWAYS! These are the numbers to remember.

I loved it!
