Almost half a century ago….wow.  Does that qualify me for anything special?….while living for the first time far away from my childhood home…still in the same state, just much farther north….we were blessed to have a tape recording…back in the day! almost an antique!….of a song written by the Gaithers, I believe.  Music is a priority to my Mom and she passed that along to me.  And I’m grateful for that. She sent that tape, with the song, “Because He Lives” recorded on it.  Just about the same time as  God blessed our lives with the birth of our first precious baby.  Through the years that song brings back a lot of memories as the years have added so many events that suit the description the song’s verses describe.

And as the years roll on, the chorus of that song becomes even more true.  We’ve experienced many of life’s most difficult experiences, and many more joyous events and we’ve come to realize more and more how true it is…

Because He lives….I can face tomorrow….
