On of My Favorit Hymns

This weekend I have done a lot of thinking...and decision making. The best part is how old friends can come out of the wood work to touch our lives when we need it most. All of this caused me to ponder upon one of my favorite hymns.

1. Each life that touches ours for good
Reflects thine own great mercy, Lord;
Thou sendest blessings from above
Thru words and deeds of those who love.

2. What greater gift dost thou bestow,
What greater goodness can we know
Than Christlike friends, whose gentle ways
Strengthen our faith, enrich our days.

3. When such a friend from us departs,
We hold forever in our hearts
A sweet and hallowed memory,
Bringing us nearer, Lord, to thee.

4. For worthy friends whose lives proclaim
Devotion to the Savior’s name,
Who bless our days with peace and love,
We praise thy goodness, Lord, above.

I truly believe that God sends individuals into our life for planed purpose. We can never know when they will come and often we dont know why. But when they pass from our lives they leave a permanent mark and hold a place forever in our hearts.

To all those out there who have touched my life in this way I thank you.
