MTC Week #45 - The Christian Song

I really loved all of the pieces we were privileged to sing today. I could probably write a little blurb on each of them. But as I'm really tired at this moment, I think I'll highlight just one. It's simply called "THE PILGRIM SONG". Here's the first verse:

My brethren I have found, a land that doth abound
With fruit as sweet as honey.
The more I eat I find, the more I am inclined
To shout and sing, hosanna!

My soul doth long to go, where I may fully know
The glory of my Savior.
And as I pass along, I'll sing the Christian song:
I'm going to live forever.

I'm grateful for the fruit I've found in my life--that of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The more I partake of that Gospel and fully live it, the more happy I become. That doesn't mean that it's easy, or I don't have lots of unanswered questions. Living the good life can sometimes be difficult and often I have to take those questions and envelop them in faith so I can continue going forward. But all things considered, living the Gospel to whatever degree you choose, makes one happier than if he isn't living it at all. 

I think this song kind of kicks off the Thanksgiving holiday coming up and as such, I just want to express how thankful I am to a heavenly Father who loves me and is patient with me. As I try to sing that Christian song everyday (knowing where I want my journey to end up), I find that I'm grateful for a lot of things. Thankful for a great family; for great parents and siblings; for freedoms enjoyed; for cherished friends; and for good people everywhere who serve and love and do good.

Until next time, God be with you.

PS: This coming week officially kicks off "lots of extra rehearsals for the upcoming Christmas Concert". Lots of memorizing and lots of work ahead. All worth it though :)
