A Very Different Day!

Wow, every time I go somewhere I am amazed by folks who can carry on their lives as if nothing could change it.  Gotta buy that car, gotta buy that outfit, need to get here, here and then here.  Then I think of how my life's brakes screeched to a stop.  I was that person.  Not thankful for each breath I took.  Taking for granted there would be another day.  No, I am not resentful....God has my hand and he walks me thru these feelings but today among such destruction I think of lives changed once again.  By destruction of the weather.  WOW!  It can all change in the blink of an eye.  My life could change still in the blink of an eye.  Not gonna live in despair, not gonna live in fear and none of God's children should.  We put our trust in HIM and he will pull us thru.  I have no doubt of that.  So if you are face with physical damage to home or person today.  Give it to God!  He'll take care of it all and all of you!  Thankful my family is safe, my mom who was traveling in it is safe and thankful He holds my hand.  Makes me think of a song.  So Here you Go!  Sing along if you know it. 

JESUS, HOLD MY HAND

by: Albert E. Brumley
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. As I travel through this pilgrim land there is a Friend who goes with me.
Leads me safely thro' the sinking sand, it is the Christ of Calvary.
This would be my pray'r, dear Lord, each day to help me do the best I can,
For I need Thy light to guide me day and night, Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

CHORUS:
Je-------sus, hold my hand, I need Thee ev'ry hour,
(Blessed Jesus, hold my hand) (Yes, I need Thee ev'ry hour)
Thru this pilgrim land Protect my by Thy pow'r.
(Thru this land, this pilgrim land ----By Thy saving pow'r.)
Hear my feeble plea, O Lord, look down on me.
(Hear my plea, my feeble plea, Lord, dear Lord, Look down on me)
When I kneel in pray'r I hope to meet you there,
(When I kneel in prayer)
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

2. Let me travel in the light divine that I may see the blessed way;
Keep me that I may be wholly Thine and sing redemption's song some day.
I will be a soldier brave and true and ever firmly take a stand,
As I onward go and daily meet the foe, Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

CHORUS:

3. When I wander thru the valley dim toward the setting of the sun,
Lead me safely to a land of rest if I a crown of life have won;
I have put my faith in Thee, dear Lord, that I may reach the golden strand,
There's no other Friend on whom I can depend, Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

CHORUS:

Hope you enjoyed!  I did!
