Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Blessing

Happy Sunday

The hymn Make Me a Blessing has been stuck in my mind for the last few days so thought I'd share the hymn with you this Sunday.

Make Me A Blessing - Ira B Wilson

Out in the high-ways and by-ways of life,
Many are weary and sad;
Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife,
Making the sorrowing glad.

1. Out in the highways and byways of life,
many are weary and sad;
Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife
making the sorrowing glad.
  

Chorus

Make me a blessing,
Make me a blessing,
Out of my life
May Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O savior, I pray,
Make me a blessing to someone today.

2. Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love;
Tell of His pow'r to forgive.
Others will trust Him if only you prove
true ev'ry moment you live.

3. Give as 'twas given to you in your need;
Love as the Master loved you;
Be to the helpless a helper indeed;
Unto your mission be true.

A Blessed Sunday to all.

A couple of people asked about my walking shoes. I wear Keen Voyageur hiking shoes.  I buy them when they go on sale and keep a couple of extra pairs on hand.  They wear out in about 4 months.

Just beautiful. I had to test because only half the blogs I comment on show my comments. No comment moderation, they just don't show up.
