This isn't really tied as much to this last posting as it is our earlier ones but an old song I'd heard came to mind and I thought I'd share the lyrics here with you. It essentially deals with the idea of those friends who have come into our life for a season but don't really continue down the path with us the whole way. Thought it was kind of poignant and pertinent to the discussion. Enjoy!
A Season in Your Path
Words and Music by Wayne Watson
Heard that friends are friends forever
But we don't talk much anymore
I guess that I’ve gone my way
And I guess that you've gone yours
Was kindness too neglected
On my list of deep regret?
In spite of distance unexpected
Can we forgive but not forget?
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 guess God alone deciphers
When people need each other most
Who will be the blessed receiver
And who will be the gracious host
And all a servant here can do
Is unto the Lord avail
Content at times to be the wind
And at times to be the sail
If another winter settles
On your shoulder down the road
Without a thought of what’s behind us
Let me help you pull your load
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
Good stuff, huh?
- Andy
