JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE


I am weak, but Thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

Just a closer walk with Thee,
Precious Jesus, hear my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

Just a closer walk with Thee,
Precious Jesus, hear my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

When my feeble life is o'er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

Just a closer walk with Thee,
Precious Jesus, hear my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

Music from a traditional folk song "Closer Walk"


As we were about to move Barry this morning the first stanza to this song came to me and I could not remember the rest of the words. It's ironic that Mom's "let it be" is in the chorus.

Barry had a few melt down moments today because things were not going perfect. It took all I had in me to keep from yelling back at him. My nerves were frayed from worrying over getting him moved. I could not let myself fall apart when D-Day had arrived.

Mom and I went down to his new apartment while he napped and did a few things for him. We hung up some of his clothes in the closet and got one bed put together for him to sleep in tonight. He's got time to get the place put together. His telephone and cable will be hooked up on Monday. Until then he'll be watching TV with Mom and me. Barbara is giving him a recliner. He'll get another piece of furniture when Mikki moves out in two weeks. His payee will have to buy him a new box springs for one of the beds. Hopefully I can convince him to let Mom have the full size bed any way. That would be only one item that the payee would have to purchase for Mom. Then Barry could get a day bed or something for his guest bedroom.

I have the china cabinet that Dad made in my living room now! Yay! I've always loved that old thing. I cleaned it up and put out some of my pieces mixed in with Mom's and Grandmother's. It looks beautiful. As soon as the dust settles around here I'm going to rearrange my living room to make more floor space. Right now I'm junked up with Mom's stuff.

Last night Elyce informed me that she was going to drive down here next weekend to visit with me. I'm shocked. I haven't seen Nefertiti in four years. I can't think what the ocassion might be to bring her here. We'll see what happens.

I'm tired and if I had somewhere to lay down and take a nap I would. Mom's got the couch and Barry's got my bed.
