Gosh, I had a LSS since early this morning while I was watering the plants in the garden. I was thinking of my dad whose death anniversary is coming near. It was eleven years ago since he left us, barely a month before Christmas.
This song made an impact on me when he died. They played it at the funeral while we had that procession going to the cemetery after a Holy Mass was held for him. These are just a few lines.
♫♪♫And He will raise you up on eagle’s wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
You need not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Though thousands fall about you,
Near you it shall not come. ♪♪♫
Faith, hope and love manifested in a song.
I am humming along as I read those words. I love that hymn too.

Good to remember those we have loved and lost. And those memories often come when we least expect them. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
