I decided that today. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. I say it because I think the past month…maybe longer, I haven’t been able to go to church without SOMETHING making me just bawl.
Today it was sacrament meeting. It was the Primary Program. I’ve never cried for a primary program before. But I did today. You could really feel the spirit through them very very strong today.
I was teary eyed the entire time, but when it really hit was when Faith got up to sing. Faith is my friend Emily’s little sister – she was born blind. She has an amazing voice and often sings solos, but today was a special one. She sang the primary song “I’ll Walk With You” which if you don’t know it, is about how people may be different, but I”LL be the person to not treat you different…I”LL be your friend. It just touched my heart because here you have Faith, who has always been blind and who is such an example to everyone she meets, singing this song. Yes, I bawled.
Then it hit me again hard at the end….when they got up to sing “I know that my Redeemer Lives" They sang this version, which I love:
It didn’t help that one of the little boys standing in the front singing was crying. He must’ve been only 5 or 6, and he was up there rubbing his eyes with his fists as he was singing, trying to keep from crying.
I know that my redeemer lives. He does live. He lives and comforts me, heals me, blesses me, protects me, guides me, loves me, carries me, counsels me.
He is my Savior, whom I owe my entire life too.
I love Him with all of my heart.
