I'm up early this morning, showered and about to eat breakfast to prepare for what promises to be a very long day. The past month has been very long with many uncertainties and fears. Through it all, I have been reassured timeless times that my faith is strong even though my physical and mental abilities often are not.
I was riding to my parents' house in the rain yesterday morning to chauffeur to yet another doctor's appointment. This activity has become a frequent one in life. In my short drive to my destination, I found myself again with the radio off and in prayerful conversation with the Lord. I was almost there when I turned the curve and the simple words on a church sign gave me comfort and assurance. "What a friend we have in Jesus." That was it. And it spoke volumes. Again.
You will even find in another prior blog post my thoughts about this wonderful comforting hymn. The words and tune make me teary lately especially every time I hear it. And yesterday was no exception. I was remembering the lyrics "What a friend we have in Jesus....all our sins and griefs to bear....what a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer". A privilege to carry EVERYTHING to HIM in prayer. Faithful. True. Yes, that's MY friend. Jesus!
Consider.....
