Dedicated to Al

Allie heard this song the other day by Watermark (an oldie but goodie) and told me she thought of me. She reminded me how we used to put it on "repeat" and sing it loud over and over again many years ago. Al, though you were reminded first, after I downloaded it and listened to the lyrics, I realized how much it reminded me of you. I love you and miss you! (By the way, we need a new pic!)

Something brought you to my mind today
I thought about the funny ways you make me laugh
And yet I feel like it's okay to cry with you
Something about just being with you
When I leave I feel like I've been near God
And that's the way it ought to be...

'Cause you've been more than a friend to me
You fight off my enemies
'Cause you've spoken the Truth over my life
And you'll never know what it means to me
Just to know you've been on your knees for me
Oh, you have blessed my life
More than you'll ever know

You had faith, when I had none
You prayed God would bring me a brand new song
When I didn't think I could find the strength to sing
And all the while I'm hoping that
I'll Do the kind of praying for you that you've done for me
And that's the way it ought to be...
You have carried me
You have taken upon a bruden that wasn't your own
And may the blessing return to you A hundredfold

'Cause you've been more than a friend to me
You fight off my enemies
'Cause you've spoken the Truth over my life
And you'll never know what it means to me
Just to know you've been on your knees for me
Oh, you have blessed my life
More than you'll ever know

you should have started this one with "Get out your Kleneex, People!"
It's so nice that the 2 of you are close. I know Conn Conn & He He are Proud!

This makes me want a sister, but I think it's a little too late for that...unless my parents adopt. Oh well...brothers are good too but there is something about the bond between sisters that's magical, so I'm told.
