YOU'RE STILL LORD

Today is a very special day - Mother's Day. I hope that you have a chance to honor your mother and treat her to a very special day. You might want to go to my other blog and read my entry for May 9 to get a sense of my feelings about this special day. In my blog I mention that I am now realizing that I am an orphan and I don't really appreciate that reality. The last few months have been times of real challenge for me and often I wish that I could call mother or dad for their advice. Or I wish that I could share with them my worries and concerns knowing that they would encourage me and faithfully pray for me. It is so hard not to be able to do that anymore. And now being the elder of the family, I guess the buck really stops with me. At least there are times that I feel that this is the case. But then I am reminded that I still have a Father and that He really cares for me. I can share my stresses with Him and He will answer, comfort, and provide wisdom and peace. And slowly I am realizing that He is the One who really cares and the only One who can really help. Recently I heard this week's song and the words of the chorus just challenged and encouraged my heart. "You're still Lord, You're still my Father!" And that is the reminder I need on Mother's Day, Father's Day and everyday!

(1) When I was just a child I heard a beautiful story

How You loved me so You died on Calvary

And though I claimed You way back then as Lord Almighty

Things haven't changed

My love is still the same

You're still Lord to me

CHORUS

You're still Lord, You're still my Father

In little or much, I feel Your touch

You're still Lord

You're still Lord, You're still my Father

You'll always be mine for all time
