9: Times of Loss – Singing With Inspiration — 1 Comment

  1. Just going through the hymnal gives me joy and peace. I can’t sing anymore, but my mind remembers…
    How great a gift has God given us, the gift of music 💖‼️ Depression can be stifled, loss can be comforted, boredom mitigated by singing and contemplating the words and music of gifted composers.
    I have been blessed in all these things by music, and the Lord’s Word. However, it has taken prayer and sometimes the caring and intervention of others to utilize this blessing. Pain of all sorts wants to overrule any disposition to reach for God. Thank You, Lord, for the caring brothers and sisters You’ve placed in my way! Can we do no less for others…?

At a camp meeting 40 years later, I happened to see Dr. I. demonstrating some kind of health product, if I remember correctly. (In my mind, I see only the image of him, much older, but still looking much like he did when I was a student, with a friend by my side.) I lingered a little but did not introduce myself. I briefly wondered whether he recognized me. I’m fairly sure that I was as recognizable to him as he was to me.

Had he changed? Or did he still feel superior in his “humility”? Should I talk to him? I didn’t know how to approach him, and was busy with friends. I still don’t know whether I should have said something. (Maybe I’m just a coward.)

If God wants him to see my story, his and my identity are clear enough in this post, that God can direct him to it.
