A Season In Your Path

Have you noticed that God often places certain people in your life for just a short period of time. I had another one of those birthdays just the other day. You know those days that come up once a year to remind you that time is passing by. I know, I'm jumping around. Stay with me! I'm now 45 years old. (this is one of those times when you see something in print and go hmmmm...............I think its the 4 and the 5 together thats bothersome.) For roughly 45 years now, lots of different people have crossed my path. Some are still in my path, most have crossed it and moved on. Wayne Watson has a great song called "A Season in Your Path". Here's the chorus:

Sometimes I think about you
Some old memories make me cry
Remembering the good times makes me laugh
But all in all I’m richer
For the happy and the sad
And I'm thankful for a season in your path

I'm grateful to have had a season in the path of Connie Martin. We paid tribute today to the memory of this wonderful Christian lady. I learned from Connie, that to be kind, really kind.....is of great worth. I learned that your faith should be carried around with you, so that everyone knows about it and doesn't question it when your life here on earth is finished. Most of all I learned that among many jobs God calls us to, we should be affecting, encouraging, praying for, those that God places in our path. Go sing with the choir, Connie!
