Christian Author Laura Davis

This holiday season was a difficult one for us as we lost a member of our family. Three days before Christmas and a day after his 85 birthday, my father-in-law went home to be with the Lord. Our Christmas was somewhat subdued, but one theme stood out at his funeral and that was faith. Dad was a quiet man of great faith and he left a wonderful legacy for his children and grandchildren.  I was so glad that we had gone to celebrate an early birthday with him on the 18th. We never knew it would be the last time we would see him.

This was Dad's favourite song. I hope it encourages you in your faithwalk as we begin not just another year, but a new decade.

FIND US FAITHFUL

by Steve Green

We're pilgrims on the journey

Of the narrow road

And those who've gone before us line the way

Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary

Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace.

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses

Let us run the race not only for the prize

But as those who've gone before us

Let us leave to those behind us

The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives.

Chorus:

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

May the fire of our devotion light their way

May the footprints that we leave

Lead them to believe

And the lives we live inspire them to obey

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful.

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone

And our children sift though all we've left behind

May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover

Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find.

Repeat Chorus

"Therefore, keep watch because you do not know the day or the hour." Matthew 25:13

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Hebrews 12:1
