I was sitting here tonight thinking back over the day we’ve had. We started out on this cold Winter morning outdoors at a photo shoot with some wonderful lady bloggers in a town near us. Although the wind was ripping right through us, we were laughing and having a good time having our pictures taken. It was so nice to meet these ladies and share some laughter together.

As my family and I walked along the path afterwards, we came across the picture perfect shot of a bridge. I sat here tonight going through the pictures, and the song “Bridge Over Troubled Water” came to mind. I began to play the version by Celtic Women and allowed myself to get lost in the words of the song.

Do you know which song I speak of? If so, have you ever really stopped to consider the words?

I think about how good God is to each of us. My thoughts wander to the times He has comforted me and walked with me.

He is an ever present force whether we acknowledge Him or not. He’s there. When we put on our masks for the rest of the world, He knows how we truly feel inside. When we cry silent tears in the dark, He is there to dry each and every tear that falls from our eyes. He truly is the One and Only Friend that will always be by your side when times are rough.

Be encouraged, dear ones. It is YOUR time to shine. Good things are on their way, friends.

If there are things in this life that are troubling you, won’t you take them to the Lord in prayer? Allow Him to ease your mind today, precious souls. He’s waiting …

Bridge Over Troubled Water
Simon And Garfunkel

When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I’m on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

I’ll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
