Sunday's Specialty;

Hebrews 13:5

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

And a Sweet Sunday to you all!

I usually write early each morning but, in light of the fact that we were packing up to leave after Sunday School, I had to wait until after I was on the road before I could blog. I received some inspiration during church so maybe the delay was a good thing.

Before church in the prayer room I thought of what a close friend Jesus Christ is to me. In our natural lives, children grow up, marry, and leave home, some even move to other states. Even though it is unintentional, we lose closeness as we all seem to do our own thing. But Jesus is with us always, and during church, my soul was touched when a young man began to sing this song:

I Have Found a Friend in Jesus

by Charles W. Fry

Verse One

I have found a friend in Jesus

He's everything to me

He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul

The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see

All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole

In sorrow, He's my comfort, in trouble, He's my stay

He tells me every care on Him to roll

Chorus

He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star

He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul

Verse Two

He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne

In temptation, He's my strong and mighty tower

I've all for Him forsaken and all my idols torn

From my heart and now He keeps me by His power

Though all the world forsake me and Satan tempt me sore

Through Jesus I will safely reach the goal

Verse Three

He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here

While I live by faith and do His blessed will

A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear

From His manna, He my hungry soul shall fill

Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face

Where rivers of delight shall ever roll

I love the Lord for His close friendship and fellowship. He will never move away nor forsake me. He is with me always!

Until tomorrow, Lord willing...........
