Till We Meet Again

Signed, sealed, delivered......Sis E & I are homies for at least 6 more weeks! We were both a little sad, as we are ready to spread our wings and grow in different areas with different companions but, our love for each other may be so strong that our bond just wasn't ready to be broken yet ;)

 

It's SUPER cold and I miss the AZ sun like mad! We go weekly to lay in the tanning bed....a brownie tanning, crazy right?! We need the vitamin D it gives us.....I'm sure this is a touchy subject with some - slow your roll....it's not very often and this chicken little ain't seen NO real sun in a while! Sis E makes Casper look tan!

 

I had this whole "thing" typed up to send....maybe another day - after getting the video of Piper trying to sing "Till We Meet Again" I thought about the words of that hymn, sang them, thought about the many times they've touched my life.....

 

God be with you till we meet again;
By his counsels guide, uphold you;
With his sheep securely fold you.
God be with you till we meet again

 

God be with you till we meet again;
When life's perils thick confound you,
Put his arms unfailing round you.
God be with you till we meet again

 

God be with you till we meet again;
Keep love's banner floating o'er you;
Smite death's threat'ning wave before you.
God be with you till we meet again.

 

[Chorus]
Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet,
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again

 

Sometimes words are just words, we sing them, say them, recite them and leave them there hanging in the air as a faceless, lifeless form to be picked up and reused when next we need them.

These words....Till we meet, Till we meet at Jesus' feet, God be with you till we meet again....they are so much more than just words...

 

When is again, after breakfast? After school? After vacation? After my mission? After this life?  Till we meet again....at first they brought me sorrow as I thought of my grandfather and then I was instantly filled with joy, as I thought of him...it's not goodbye, it really is until we meet again...the unending blessing of knowing that no matter the context as long as I live as my Father has asked me to.....it will always be "Till we meet again!"  I am so grateful for Eternal Families! My lesson this week is, live like there's no tomorrow so when we are at our judgment day we can receive the many blessings we have been promised, if we have followed our Heavenly Fathers plan. Do not put off repentance, do not put off church attendance, do not postpone scripture study, do not hold out forgiveness - do today what you have left undone, we are not promised tomorrow to set our course straight....

 

Family and Friends I love you all and pray for you daily. Don't forget about me, Till we meet again!

 

XOXO
