Around the corner

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.

Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on him
Just to show that I'm thinking of him"
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.

Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "He died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right time
it might be too late.

Seize the day.
Never have regrets.
And most importantly,
stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today.

I am so thankful for Mom, Maxine and MARION.
It was good to see them at prayer meeting tonight.
I read newsletters from Missionaries in Australia,
Mexico, Tupalo, and Russia. We prayed for our
Missionaries in the Philippines and in Ireland and for
the pending trip to the Ukraine in 08 and also for sister
Tina Graber. Other mission fields on our heart were
Papau New Guinea, Honduras, and Romania.
We are praying for our meeting in January and the
speaker, Garner Smith. We need a true REVIVAL.

I've seen a lot of friends and loved ones over the
holiday period and my heart weeps for them and the
numbness they have in regard to spiritual things.
I wish I were more effectual in speaking the truth to
them in love. I PRAY that God would mercifully
intervene in their lives. I love them so much but
I cannot do for them what they must do for
themselves by the enabling power of the sovereign
grace of Almighty God.
