The Seeking Daddy Project Day 21: Show me how to go.

I'm sorry this post is so late.  Technically, I'm writing it in the wee hours of the morning on February 22nd, but hopefully you'll all let that slide just this once.

I had the great pleasure of catching up with a friend after work tonight - in fact, this is the first time I've even really been at my computer all day.  I'm sleepy and ponderous after hours of talking about faith and challenges and God's will.  So, to honor our conversation, here's a hymn that I first heard when visiting her church a couple of years ago.  Its beauty haunts me.

Shepherd, show me how to go
         O'er the hillside steep,
How to gather, how to sow, —
         How to feed Thy sheep;
I will listen for Thy voice,
         Lest my footsteps stray;
I will follow and rejoice
         All the rugged way.

Thou wilt bind the stubborn will,
         Wound the callous breast,
Make self-righteousness be still,
         Break earth's stupid rest.
Strangers on a barren shore,
         Lab'ring long and lone,
We would enter by the door,
         And Thou know'st Thine own;

So, when day grows dark and cold,
         Tear or triumph harms,
Lead Thy lambkins to the fold,
         Take them in Thine arms;
Feed the hungry, heal the heart,
         Till the morning's beam;
White as wool, ere they depart,
         Shepherd, wash them clean. -"Feed My Sheep," by Mary Baker Eddy
