The Daily Word for April 27, 2021

 

ineffable - adj. - beyond words; too great or extreme to be captured in words


You've got to like the word ineffable. Why? Simply put, it is the adjective to use when there are no words. How many times have you been in a situation that has rendered you tongue tied? Probably many. 

When I think of all the possible case scenarios that could fall into the category of ineffable, I think of the capabilities of we human beings when we put our minds to doing something seemingly impossible, like feeding millions of hungry people, for instance. Last week, I signed on to volunteer at the Community Food Bank of New Jersey that supplies the food pantries upon which the impecunious depend. When the organization was founded in the early 1970s, employees and volunteers churned out around 60,000 meals the first year. Last year during prime time of the pandemic, 66 million meals were provided. The efforts of the people at CFBNJ were ineffable. I'm sure you'd agree that we human beings are at our absolute best when we decide to be selfless instead of selfish. 

Enjoy your Tuesday afternoon!
